about

A concert stage in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Neil Diamond sings and plays guitar in a sparkly shirt under coloured stage lights.

lyrics

Neil: Ay - ay - ay - ay - ay - ay! Di - ay - ay - ay - aimond!

This old neighbourhood
is not doing so good
they want to tear it all down
I know if they could they would

This part of town was once the heart of town, now look around!

Every business is closed
Boarding up their windows
Not a soul around for five blocks
They’re rolling up the sidewalks

Get in now before they tear it down, before it’s gone!

But there’s a dove among the pigeons, a rose among the thorns…

A diamond in the rough part of town!
Diamond in the rough part of town!
Diamond in the rough part of town!
Diamond in the rough part of town!

When you walk down this street
Although you may get cold feet
Listen to your heart-beat!
You don’t know who you could meet

A flower grows between the sidewalk cracks!

And she’s a dove among the pigeons, a rose among the thorns…

A diamond in the rough part of town!
Diamond in the rough part of town!
Diamond in the rough part of town!
Diamond in the rough part of town!
