Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Precious Jewel (Roy Acuff)
Subject: A Jewel on Earth
I am looking for lyrics to a song recored in the '30s or '40's by Roy Acuff, I believe, titled "A Jewel on Earth". Some lyrics I can still remember: Way back in the hills, where a boy I once wandered. Very deep in her grave lies the girl that I loved....

and the chorus is something like: A jewel on earth, a jewel in heaven. She'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throne. May the angels have pity, God bless her in heaven, they've taken my true love and left me to roam...

But that's all I can remember. Please help me if you know all the words.
