the willis brothers - diamonds for ruby lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
back in the days of my childhood
i can remember the times
three little sisters in pigtails
we pestered by singing this rhyme

[chorus]
diamonds for ruby, rubies for pearl
freckles for annie, poor little girl
who’ll find the silver? who’ll find the gold?
who’ll find a warm heart out in the cold?

[verse 2]
ruby and pearl grew to beauty
i courted each one in turn
sometimes i’d visit with annie
when i had no money to burn

[chorus]
diamonds for ruby, rubies for pearl
heartaches for annie, poor lonely girl
who’ll find the silver? who’ll find the gold?
who’ll find a warm heart out in the cold?

[interlude]
[verse 3]
ruby, she married for diamonds
pearl, she ran off with a thief
annie, she smiled at my sorrow
then tenderly banished my grief

[chorus]
diamonds for ruby, rubies for pearl
true love for annie, my kind of girl
yesterday, silver wedding bells tolled
i found in annie, my silver and gold

[outro chorus]
diamonds for ruby, rubies for pearl
true love for annie…
