text: I shook the hand of the president and the pope in Rome
  Ive been to parties where Ive had to be flown
  They said everything was sacred, nothing was profane
  And money was something that you throw off the back of trains
  Oh always keep a diamond in your mind
  Youve got to always keep a diamond in your mind
  Wherever you may wander
  Wherever you may roam
  Youve got to always keep a diamond in your mind
  Steam of the gravy with little fried pearls
  Floating like a necklace on a beautiful girl
  Johnna says thanks to the food and land
  And oh so ever grateful for Gods on my hands
  Oh always keep a diamond in your mind
  Always keep a diamond in your mind
  Wherever you may wander
  Wherever you may roam
  Youve got to always keep a diamond in your mind
  Shes got the milk of human kindness and the fat of the lamb
  Scared like a baby, well she drives like a man
  She lives outside of Natchez where she operates a crane
  Shes like a wrecking ball no longer connected to the chain
  Oh Zerelda Samuel said she almost never prayed
  Said she lost her right arm, blown off in a Pinkerton raid
  Then they lashed her to a windmill with old 3-fingered Dave
  Now shes a hundred-and-two drinking mint juleps in the shade
  Everybody...
  Always keep a diamond in your mind
  Youve got to always keep a diamond in your mind
  Wherever you may wander
  Wherever you may roam
  Youve got to always keep a diamond in your mind
  Would you help me sing it, come on
  Always keep a diamond in your mind
  Always keep a diamond in your mind 
  Wherever you may wander
  Wherever you may roam
  Your gotta always keep a diamond in your mind
  One more time, come on...
  Always keep a diamond in your mind
  Always keep a diamond in your mind
  Wherever you may wander
  Wherever you may roam
  Your gotta always keep a diamond in your mind
  Always keep a diamond in your mind
  Always keep a diamond in your mind
