Diamond Joe |
Now There’s a man you’ll hear about |
Most anywhere you go, |
And his holdings are in Texas |
And his name is Diamond Joe. |
And he carries all his money |
In a diamond-studded jar. |
He never took much trouble |
With the process of the law. |
I hired out to Diamond Joe, boys, |
Did offer him my hand, |
He gave a string of horses |
So old they could not stand. |
And I nearly starved to death, boys, |
He did mistreat me so, |
And I never saved a dollar |
In the pay of Diamond Joe. |
Now his bread it was corn dodger |
And his meat you couldn’t chaw, |
Nearly drove me crazy |
With the waggin' of his jaw. |
And the tellin' of his story, |
Mean to let you know |
That there never was a rounder |
That could lie like Diamond Joe. |
Now, I tried three times to quit him, |
But he did argue so |
I’m still punchin' cattle |
In the pay of Diamond Joe. |
And when I’m called up yonder |
And it’s my time to go, |
Give my blankets to my buddies |
Give the fleas to Diamond Joe. |
