Diamond Joe |
| There is a man you’ll hear about |
| Most any place you go |
| And his holdings are in Texas |
| And his name is Diamond Joe |
| He carries all his money |
| In a diamond-studded jar |
| An' he never was much bothered |
| By the process of the law |
| I hired out to Diamond Joe, boys |
| I did offer him my hand |
| And he gave a string of horses |
| So old they couldn’t stand |
| I like to starve to death, boys |
| He did mistreat me so |
| I never saved a dollar |
| In the pay of Diamond Joe |
| Now, his bread it was corn dodger |
| And his meat I couldn’t chaw |
| And he kept me well distracted |
| With the waggin' of his jaw |
| And the tellin' of his story |
| I aim to let you know |
| There never was a rounder |
| Who lied like Diamond Joe |
| Now, I tried three times to quit him, boys |
| But he did argue so |
| And I’m still punchin' cattle |
| In the pay of Diamond Joe |
| But when I’m called up a’yonder |
| And come my time to go |
| Give my blankets to my buddies |
| Give the fleas to Diamond Joe |
