I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal (But I'm Gonna Be a Diamond Someday) [with The Carter Family]

[00:11.27] I'm just an old chunk of coal
[00:15.88] But I'm gonna be a diamond someday
[00:21.29] I'm gonna grow and glow till I'm so blue pure perfect
[00:26.17] Gonna put a smile on everybody's face
[00:31.91] I'm gonna kneel and pray every day
[00:37.23] Lest I should become vain along the way
[00:43.02] I'm just an old chunk of coal, now Lord
[00:47.71] But I'm gonna be a diamond someday
[00:51.60]
[01:14.09] I'm gonna learn the right words to talk
[01:18.90] Gonna search and find a better way to walk
[01:24.35] I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self
[01:29.35] Till I get rid of every single flaw
[01:34.86] I wanna be the world's best friend
[01:40.26] Gonna go around shaking everybody's hand
[01:45.89] I'm just an old chunk of coal, now Lord
[01:50.82] But I'm gonna be a diamond someday
[01:56.52] I'm just an old chunk of coal, now Lord
[02:01.23] But I'm gonna be a diamond someday
