Blue diamonds (blue-ooo)

Big blue diamonds on her finger

(On her finger)

Instead of a little band of gold

(Big blue, big blue diamonds)






Big diamonds (big diamonds)

Big blue diamonds (big diamonds)

Tell the story

Of a love, that no one man could hold

(Blue diamonds)



Oh, she wanted more than I

Had money to buy, so she left me

Sad and lonely, I am told

(I am told)



Big diamonds (diamonds)

Big blue diamonds (diamonds)



Now she'll trade them

For a love behind a little band of gold

(The band of gold)



(instrumental - guitar)



Blue diamonds (blue diamonds)

Big blue diamonds (blue diamonds)

How they sparkle! (blue)

Well, what can they do

To warm your heart n' soul?

(Warm your heart and soul)



When you're lonesome in the moonlight

An you want lovin', yeah

Big blue diamonds (diamonds)

Don't they seem so wreckless and bold?

(Big blue diamonds)



I'd gladly to my part

Oh, mend a broken heart (big diamonds)

With a love that's warmed over (love soon grows cold)

Soon grows cold (it soon grows cold)



Big diamonds (diamonds)

Big blue diamonds (diamonds)

I don't want them, no!

Oh, I just want a love behind

The little band of gold

(The band of gold).
