Dust Be Diamonds - The Incredible String Band

I fished for a plow, it was heavy as lead

And tired in my body, I wished for a bed

When I lay claim to nothing, seems everything’s mine

When I lay claim to nothing

Dust be diamonds, water be wine

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time

Dust be diamonds, water be wine

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time

Dust be diamonds, water be wine

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time

King Jesus, he whispered, «It is not so far»

And Buddha declared, «It is right where you are»

Oh, tell me how many tears have you dried

Tell me how many

Dust be diamonds, water be wine

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time

Dust be diamonds, water be wine

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time

Dust be diamonds, water be wine

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time

The things that you claim are the things you will be

And the actions of now are tomorrow’s memory

So buy for a million, sell for a dime

Buy for a million

Dust be diamonds, water be wine

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time

Dust be diamonds, water be wine

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time

Dust be diamonds, water be wine

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time

Somebody tells you the world’s all wrong

And somebody tells you the road is so long

And if you have an argument, please see your mind

If you have an argument

Dust be diamonds, water be wine

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time

Dust be diamonds, water be wine

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time

Dust be diamonds, water be wine

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time

The man on the corner is singing the blues

And the man in the office is studying the news

So you’re looking for trouble, so trouble you’ll find

So you’re looking for trouble

Dust be diamonds, water be wine

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time

Dust be diamonds, water be wine

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time

Dust be diamonds, water be wine

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time

I used to have to wind up my clockwork heart

And my face was addicted and I did not feel part

So look in the end act, see my secret crime

Look in the end act

Dust be diamonds, water be wine

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time

Oh, dust be diamonds, water be wine

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time

Dust be diamonds, water be wine

Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
