Big diamond, big blue diamonds on her finger
Instead of that little band of gold
Big diamond, big blue diamonds tell a story
Of a love that no one man could ever hold

[Chorus]
She wanted more than I had money to buy
So she left me for a stranger I've been told
Big diamond, big blue diamonds now she'd trade them
For the love behind that little band of gold

Big diamond, big blue diamonds how they sparkle
But what can they do to warm your soul
When you're lonesome in the moonlight and need some lovin'
Big diamond, big blue diamonds are so cold

[Chorus]
