You wear diamonds on your fingers
You wear diamonds on your ears
and you wear diamonds on your necklace

You wear diamonds to the banquet
You wear diamonds to the opera

I'm a beanspiller
I'm a squeaky wheel
I'm the guy that speaks up

I'm a tree that weeps

A cover of Great Big Sea's cover of Ron Angel's song. I love both versions. I used guitar, bodhran, vocals.

Yes, a long-distance love song
I'll sing it just for you

When the night is long
And you've been gone from home
Sing a long-distance love song
Yeah a long-distance love…

I was born in California. I was raised in California.

stories about her dad being a miner…
