Diamond Joe - Cisco Houston[00:00:00]

There is a man you'll hear about[00:00:06]

Most every place you go[00:00:10]

And his holdings are in Texas[00:00:17]

And his name is diamond Joe[00:00:23]

And he carries all his money[00:00:26]

In his diamond studded jaw[00:00:29]

And he never was much bothered[00:00:33]

By the process of the law[00:00:37]

Well I hired to diamond Joe boys[00:00:42]

I did offer him my hand[00:00:46]

And he gave me a string of horses[00:00:50]

So old they could not stand[00:00:56]

Well I liked to die of hunger[00:00:58]

'Cause he did mistreat me so[00:01:02]

And I never earned one dollar[00:01:06]

In the pay of diamond Joe[00:01:09]

Well his bread it was corn dodger[00:01:14]

And his meat I could not chaw[00:01:17]

And he drove me near distracted[00:01:23]

With that waggin' of his jaw[00:01:29]

While he telling of his story[00:01:32]

And I mean to let you know[00:01:35]

That there never was a rounder[00:01:39]

That lied like diamond Joe[00:01:42]

Well I tried three times to quit him[00:01:48]

Boys but he did argue so[00:01:52]

That I still am punchin' cattle[00:01:56]

In the pay of diamond Joe[00:02:03]

And when I'm called to heaven[00:02:05]

Last thing before I go[00:02:08]

Give my blankets to my buddies[00:02:11]

And give the fleas to diamond Joe[00:02:15]
