Way back in the hills

As a boy I was once wandered

 

Buried deep in her grave

Lies the girl that I love

She was called from this earth

  F         C

A jewel for Heaven

          

More precious than diamonds

     G7            C

More precious than gold

A jewel here on earth

             C

And jewel in Heaven

Around God's great throne

May the angels have peace

    F            C

God bless her in Heaven

 

They've broken my heart

            G7         C

And they've left me to roam

 

 

When she was sixteen

We courted each other

      

She promised someday 

   D7              G7

To become my sweet wife

To heaven one night
