Diamond Joe - Cisco Houston[00:00:01]
There is a man you'll hear about[00:00:04]
Most every place you go[00:00:08]
And his holdings are in Texas[00:00:14]
And his name is Diamond Joe [00:00:20]
And he carries all his money[00:00:23]
In his diamond studded jaw [00:00:27]
And he never was much bothered[00:00:30]
By the process of the law [00:00:34]
Well I hired to Diamond Joe boys [00:00:40]
I did offer him my hand [00:00:44]
And he gave me a string of horses[00:00:50]
So old they could not stand [00:00:57]
Well I liked to die of hunger[00:01:00]
'Cause he did mistreat me so [00:01:03]
And I never earned one dollar[00:01:07]
In the pay of Diamond Joe [00:01:10]
Well his bread it was corn dodger[00:01:17]
And his meat I could not chaw [00:01:21]
And he drove me near distracted[00:01:26]
With that waggin' of his jaw [00:01:32]
While he tellin' of his story [00:01:35]
And I mean to let you know [00:01:38]
That there never was a rounder[00:01:42]
That lied like Diamond Joe [00:01:47]
Well I tried three times to quit him [00:01:54]
Boys but he did argue so[00:01:58]
That I still am punchin' cattle[00:02:03]
In the pay of Diamond Joe [00:02:09]
And when I'm called to heaven[00:02:11]
Last thing before I go [00:02:15]
Give my blankets to my buddies[00:02:19]
And give the fleas to Diamond Joe[00:02:23]
