Sippinâ from a hose in North Carolina
In a summer so hot youâd appreciate simple stuff
I didnât have much, but I had a girl named Dinah
This poor boy knows a diamond in the rough
Trying to make my wayâ¦North Carolina
Puttinâ food on the table when I didnât earn enough
Never mattered much to her, but thatâs 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 Iâve made
Dinah believes in me
Though Iâve fallinâ short of what I wanted to achieve
Dinah believes I can
Sheâs my girl and Iâm her man
Canât love her enough
This poor boy knows a diamond in the rough
When it comes to love, I leave that to Dinah
Herâs is like a drug
Keeps me goinâ back for more
If she asked me to I would dig clear through to China
Anything she might need day or night
Is what Iâm livinâ for
Dinah will always say even to this day
That I have what it takes and in spite of mistakes Iâve made
Dinah believes in me
Though Iâve fallinâ short of what I wanted to achieve
Dinah believes I can
Sheâs my girl and Iâm her man
Canât love her enough
This poor boy knows a diamond in the rough
