Rhinestones

(album: Story Songs For Country Folks - 1964)

Rhinestone, rhinestones for your pretty hand
Daddy bought 'em from the rhinestone man
Rhinestone, rhinestones for your curly hair
Just like the ones your mommie used to wear
(Just like the ones your mommie used to wear)

Oh, mommie's gone so far away
And daddy thinks of mommie every day
I don't know but I believe up there
Mommie's wearing diamonds in her hair
(Mommie's wearing diamonds in her hair)

Oh, I wish things could be just like they were
Mommie left you here and you look so much like her
And every time rhinestones you wanna wear
I think of her rhinestones in her hair

Rhinestone, rhinestones for your pretty hand
Daddy bought 'em from the rhinestone man
Rhinestone, rhinestones for your curly hair
Just like the ones your mommie used to wear
(Just like the ones your mommie used to wear...)
