But the angels they called her to Heaven one night
She'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throne
May the angels have peace, God bless her in Heaven
She's resting in peace with the Heavenly fold
I bought her the ring to wear on her finger
More precious than diamonds, more precious than gold
When a girl of sixteen, we courted each other
She'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throne
Mother Earth holds her treasures of diamonds and gold
She was called from this earth, a jewel for Heaven
They've broken my heart and they left me to roam
May the angels have peace, God bless her in Heaven
A jewel here on earth, a jewel in Heaven
She promised someday to become my sweet wife
A jewel here on earth, a jewel in Heaven
May the angels have peace, God bless her in Heaven
This world has it wealth, its trials and troubles
They've broken my heart and they left me to roam
But it can't hold the soul of one precious jewel
