Sippin’ from a hose in North Carolina
In a summer so hot you’d appreciate simple stuff
I didn’t have much, but I had a girl named Dinah
This poor boy knows a diamond in the rough
Trying to make my way…North Carolina
Puttin’ food on the table when I didn’t earn enough
Never mattered much to her, but that’s just like Dinah
This poor boy knows a diamond in the rough
Dinah will always say even to this day
That I have what it takes in spite of mistakes I’ve made
Dinah believes in me
Though I’ve fallin’ short of what I wanted to achieve
Dinah believes I can
She’s my girl and I’m her man
Can’t love her enough
This poor boy knows a diamond in the rough
When it comes to love, I leave that to Dinah
Her’s is like a drug
Keeps me goin’ back for more
If she asked me to I would dig clear through to China
Anything she might need day or night
Is what I’m livin’ for
Dinah will always say even to this day
That I have what it takes and in spite of mistakes I’ve made
Dinah believes in me
Though I’ve fallin’ short of what I wanted to achieve
Dinah believes I can
She’s my girl and I’m her man
Can’t love her enough
This poor boy knows a diamond in the rough
(Repeat chorus)
