Take  me back  those summer days
Winter’s  making my old  bones ache
I’ll  return  when the weather’s changed
I’ll  see you in the  Diamond State again
Well  I got  religion and the old north wind
All  the colours came,  the colours went
I  swore to  get right with my family and friends
Gave  my bottle to the  preacher, start over again, singing
Take  me back  those summer days
Winter’s  making my old  bones ache
I’ll  return  when the weather’s changed
I’ll  see you in the  Diamond State again
Well  hell  hath no fury like a woman scorned
She  took all the whiskey  and all the corn
She  set fire  to my house, and took off in a storm
Even  after she’s gone  she’s still keeping me warm
Take  me back  those summer days
Winter’s  making my old  bones ache
I’ll  return  when the weather’s changed
I’ll  see you in the  Diamond State again
Well  the  roof caved in and the house came down
There’s  a hole in my  tent, and one in the ground
And  the places  I’ve been ain’t the place I am now
So  watch where you’re  stepping, I’ll see you around
Take  me back  those summer days
Winter’s  making my old  bones ache
I’ll  return  when the weather’s changed
I’ll  see you in the  Diamond State
Oh  take me  back those summer days
This  winter’s making  my old bones ache
And  I’ll  return when the weather’s changed
I  will see you in the  Diamond State my friends
I’m  going  California, gonna pan for gold
Because  a diamond in  the rough ain’t a diamond in the snow
I’m  gonna  empty all my pockets and admit that I’m old
Take  my coat to the  corner and hope it gets sold
Take  me back  those summer days
Winter’s  making my old  bones shake
I’ll  return  when the weather’s changed
I’ll  see you in the  Diamond State again
I’ll  see  you in the Diamond State
I’ll  see you in the  Diamond State
I  will see  you in the Diamond State
I  will see you in the  Diamond State
My  friends
Oh  my good friends
