Now there's a man you'll hear about |
| [00:11.08] |
Most anywhere you go, |
| [00:14.99] |
And his holdings are in texas |
| [00:17.87] |
And his name is diamond joe. |
| [00:21.46] |
and he carries all his money |
| [00:24.10] |
In a diamond-studded jar. |
| [00:27.79] |
He never took much trouble |
| [00:30.90] |
With the process of the law. |
| [00:40.49] |
I hired out to diamond joe, boys, |
| [00:44.05] |
Did offer him my hand, |
| [00:49.75] |
He gave me a string of horses |
| [00:52.87] |
So old they could not stand. |
| [00:58.53] |
and i nearly starved to death, boys, |
| [01:02.06] |
He did mistreat me so, |
| [01:07.41] |
And i never saved a dollar |
| [01:10.43] |
In the pay of diamond joe. |
| [01:23.43] |
Now his bread it was corn dodger |
| [01:26.24] |
And his meat you couldn't chaw, |
| [01:31.78] |
Nearly drove me crazy |
| [01:34.77] |
With the waggin' of his jaw. |
| [01:40.16] |
And the tellin' of his story, |
| [01:44.06] |
Mean to let you know |
| [01:48.95] |
That there never was a rounder |
| [01:51.78] |
That could lie like diamond joe. |
| [01:59.96] |
Instrumental |
| [02:11.18] |
Now, I tried three times to quit him, |
| [02:14.66] |
But he did argue so |
| [02:19.68] |
I'm still punchin' cattle |
| [02:23.19] |
In the pay of diamond joe. |
| [02:28.61] |
And when I'm called up yonder |
| [02:33.52] |
And it's my time to go, |
| [02:36.28] |
Give my blankets to my buddies |
| [02:39.65] |
Give the fleas to diamond joe. |
