Lyrics
In the year 1843
A man was born who
During his lifetime
Was to have a profound effect
On millions of people
His name was Russell Herman Conwell
He became a lawyer
Then a newspaper editor
And finally, a clergyman
But one day, a group of boys
Came to Doctor Conwell
At his church
And asked him if he would be willing
To instruct them in college courses
They wanted a college education
But lacked the money to pay for it
He told him that he'd do all he could
As the boys left
A thought, an idea
Began to form in Doctor Conwell's mind
He asked himself
Why couldn't there be a fine college
For poor but deserving young men
Well, it was a great idea
He went to work on it at once
Almost single handedly
Doctor Conwell raised seven million dollars
With which he founded
One of the world's leading universities
And he raised the money
By giving more than six thousand lectures
All over the country
And in each one of them
He told a story called
Acres of Diamonds
(It's in my mind, but it's in my mind, but it's in my mind)
Acres of Diamonds
(I don't know what you mean) Rock dude like a motherfucker
Acres of Diamonds
(It's in my mind, but it's in my mind, but it's in my mind)
Acres of Diamonds
(I don't know what you mean) Rock dude like a motherfucker
The story was the account of an African farmer
Who are tales about other settlers
Who had made millions
By discovering diamond mines
And these tales so excited the farmer
That he could hardly wait to sell his farm
And search for diamonds himself
So he sold his farm
And spent the rest of his life
Wandering the vast African continent
