Dust Be Diamonds Lyrics - Incredible String Band

I fished for a plow, it was heavy as lead 

And tired in my body, I wished for a bed 

When I lay claim to nothing, seems everything's mine 

When I lay claim to nothing 

Dust be diamonds, water be wine 

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time 

Dust be diamonds, water be wine 

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time 

Dust be diamonds, water be wine 

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time 

King Jesus, he whispered, "It is not so far" 

And Buddha declared, "It is right where you are" 

Oh, tell me how many tears have you dried 

Tell me how many 

Dust be diamonds, water be wine 

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time 

Dust be diamonds, water be wine 

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time 

Dust be diamonds, water be wine 

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time 

The things that you claim are the things you will be 

And the actions of now are tomorrow's memory 

So buy for a million, sell for a dime 

Buy for a million 

Dust be diamonds, water be wine 

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time 

Dust be diamonds, water be wine 

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time 

Dust be diamonds, water be wine 

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time 

Somebody tells you the world's all wrong 

And somebody tells you the road is so long 

And if you have an argument, please see your mind 

If you have an argument 

Dust be diamonds, water be wine 

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time 

Dust be diamonds, water be wine 

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time 

Dust be diamonds, water be wine 

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time 

The man on the corner is singing the blues 

And the man in the office is studying the news 

So you're looking for trouble, so trouble you'll find 

So you're looking for trouble 

Dust be diamonds, water be wine 

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time 

Dust be diamonds, water be wine 

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time 

Dust be diamonds, water be wine 

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time 

I used to have to wind up my clockwork heart 

And my face was addicted and I did not feel part 

So look in the end act, see my secret crime 

Look in the end act 

Dust be diamonds, water be wine 

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time 

Oh, dust be diamonds, water be wine 

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time 

Dust be diamonds, water be wine 

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
