Now if I were a queen and a ruler of nations
With diamonds and jewels profound
Well, I’d rather know that I had salvation
Than to know my reward would be Satan’s jewel crown
Satan’s jewel crown I’ve worn it so long
But God for my soul has reached down
His love set me free, He made me His own
And helped me cast off Satan’s jewel crown
Oh, this life that I live so sinful and evil
Drinking and running around
All the things that I do for the love of the Devil
I know my reward will be Satan’s jewel crown

John Starling RIP. I remember Emmylou singing this in Boston in the early 1970s. Joe Val did great version, too, as well as the Louvin Brothers. Beautiful gospel songs like this are almost enough to make you a believer, almost.
The Starlings had a quite an influence on Emmy Lou. After owning many of her albums, it seems that the Starlings had a lot of interest in Emmy Lou. Joe Engman.
