Harris, Emmylou - I Dug Up A Diamond Lyrics






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

    What can be better off Gibson LesPaul sound in hands od Mark Knopfler? Can anything be? Surely yes, seems that it is sound of two Gibson LesPauls in hands of Mark and Richard

  14. G.... H....

    The hair on the back of my neck always rise and I get a tingling sensation down my spine when I listen to this song version. MK is the Master of the Universe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. D.... R....

    I think this is pure class, especially the part about 2:35 where the lovely and super talented Emmylou relinquishes her place in front to let the great Knopfler and Richard Bennett be the real feature. We all know Knopfler is one of the all time best at any type of music, Richard deserves a lot of respect for his ability and body of work.

  16. T.... M....

    1:12 the shivers, beautiful vocals

  25. T.... S....

    yesssssssss.

  26. J.... L....

    Why is the camera not focusing on the right instruments??! Feeling confused! Wanna just stick at Mark's hand :)

  27. V.... P....

  43. d.... ....

    The unmistakable sounds of a.........SONOR drum kit.

    d.... ....

    See " Right Now". The drummer o Sonor takes it completely away from Mark.
    Not to mention the beauty of Ms. Harris. Astonishing takeover of second artists on stage.

  44. A.... D....

    Quel magnifique duo ! Sans oublier Bennet à la guitare en duo avec Mark. J'adore 😎

    A.... D....

    A écouter impérativement au casque c'est encore plus beau Mark à gauche et Richard à droite malgré que ce soit 2 guitares identiques on les distingue parfaitement quel grand moment !!!

  65. F.... G....

    I love this song

  66. R.... L....

    Mark is the greatest, Emmy Lou is the greatest, Richard is the greatest, they are simply beyond GREAT together!! I Thank God for them!!

  67. S.... C....

    If someone were to ask me what my favorite guitar is, I would show them this video. I have nothing against the Strat, Tele, SG or anything else, they all sound lovely. But a Les Paul just has a full, warm, silky smooth sound that is out of this world. And put one in the hands of Mark Knopfler and Richard Bennett......unreal. Love this song.

    S.... C....

    Sam Crittenden
    I once had the pleasure of asking Les if he’d let my pal from Vermont Kip Meaker ,sit in at his gig at the Iridium room in NYC. Les asked “ does he have his axe? “ when I replied no, ...the inventor of the electric guitar handed him his own .
    Kip proceeded to tear the house down. Les Paul called his invention, “ the super beast”.

  68. F.... R....

    Wow..❤️

  69. j.... ....

    The sound of double les Pauls in the hands of Knopfler and Bennett gives me goosebumps! Stunningly beautiful.

  70. S.... T....

    This song is beautiful. Thank you Mark Knopfler for posting this. When I have money, I will be buying this CD.

  71. t.... ....

  79. D.... S....

    Best version of this song ever. Richard and Mark playing solo at the end is epic.

    D.... S....

    true, so!

    D.... S....

    10000 times and more, and again awesome

  80. A.... T....

    Undoubtedly The Greatest Guitar player of his time.

    A.... T....

    Couldn't agree more.  The guitar isn't merely an instrument for him.  It's an extension of the man.  Every note is wrapped in passion!  Lastly, something I've said many times about his playing........He makes his soul audible!

  81. O.... O....

    👍👍👍👍👍
