Thanks, folks, for both the You Tube link and the lyrics.

Couple of tweaks to the lyrics posted:

Satan's Jeweled* Crown
(E L Eden)**

Now if I were a queen
and a ruler of nations,
With diamonds and jewels profound,
Well, I'd rather know
that I had salvation
Than to know my reward
Would be Satan's jeweled* crown.

Chorus:
Satan's jeweled crown,
I've worn it so long,
But God for my soul has reached down.
His love set me free,
He made me His own,
and helped me cast off
Satan's jeweled* crown.

Oh, this life that I live
so sinful and evil,***
Drinkin' and runnin' around,
All the things that I do
for the love of the devil,
I know my reward
Will be Satan's jeweled* crown.

(Chorus)

* I think the title (& hook line) is "Jeweled Crown," even though Emmylou doesn't clearly pronounce the "ed."

**The YouTube says it's "E L Edens song." DK if that means the composer is E L Edens or if whoever posted it just forgot the apostrophe in "Eden's."

*** "evil," not "needless"


I also changed the formatting to show which part is the chorus & to show more of how the lyrics correspond to musical phrases.
