I Dug Up A Diamond Lyrics - Mark Knopfler

I dug up a diamond, rare and fine 

I dug up a diamond in a deep dark mine 

If only I could cling to my beautiful find 

I dug up a diamond in a deep dark mine 

My gem is special beyond all worth 

As strong as any metal or stone in the earth 

Sharp as any razor or blade you can buy 

Bright as any laser or any star in the sky 

Maybe once in a lifetime you'll hold one in your hand 

Once in a lifetime in this land 

Where the journey ends in a worthless claim 

Time and again in the mining game

I dug up a diamond, rare and fine 

I dug up a diamond in a deep dark mine 

Down in the darkness in the dirt and the grime 

I dug up a diamond in a deep dark mine
