A slight amendment, should others seek other verses here. I have read the song as published (in the late 1950's) and there is only one verse. Someone just sent me text for three verses which I can't vouch for. Doesn't mean you can't add verses to a song, but if you want the song as written, it's onl...

Someone very kindly sent me text for three verses which I can't vouch for beyond that it's the same words in verse 1 and chorus, and the rest fit more or less. Maybe they were added later? I don't know! The song as published (some time in the 1950's or early 1960's I believe) has only one verse (at ...

I have just gotten an email from someone who says she has three verses. If this turns out to have been true, I'll get back with updates on that too.

The author (words and music) was indeed Arthur Smith in, I believe, 1959. The text given by SingerForGod was ...

As I noted above, if you write to me, I am willing to share. I had it then, and I still do. Please use the email [email protected] since I do not check this forum often.

I typeset the sheet music to Acres of Diamonds and am willing to share if you'll email me - [email]jay@zcomposer.com.[/email] I have written and called Arthur Smith, Clay Music Corporation, and anybody else I could find that has a registered interest in the music. Nobody has answered yet in these al...

I found it. I have the sheet music, lyrics, etc, to Acres of Diamonds. Man was that hard to accomplish!

I would be willing to share if others ask directly.

Well, I found a recording of me leading my choir singing it, 20 or so years ago, but that's about all. Still looking! I'd gladly pay to find the composer/arranger/lyricist and thus get to the sheet music.
