Diamond Joe - Ramblin' Jack Elliott[00:00:00]

Written by：Traditional[00:00:01]

There's a man you'll hear about[00:00:10]

Most every place you go[00:00:15]

His holdings are in Texas[00:00:18]

And his name is Diamond Joe[00:00:24]

And he carries all his money[00:00:28]

In a diamond-studded jar[00:00:33]

He never was much bother[00:00:40]

By the process of the law[00:00:44]

I hired out to Diamond Joe boys[00:00:52]

I did offer him my hand[00:00:56]

And he gave me a string of horses[00:00:58]

So old they couldn't stand[00:01:02]

I liked to starved to death boys[00:01:07]

He did mistreat me so[00:01:12]

And I never saved no dollar[00:01:18]

In the pay of Diamond Joe[00:01:22]

Well his bread it was corn dodger[00:01:37]

His meat I couldn't chaw[00:01:40]

And he drove me near distracted[00:01:42]

With the wagging of his jaw[00:01:46]

Oh the telling of his story[00:01:48]

I hate to let you know[00:01:53]

There never was no rounder[00:02:00]

That lied like Diamond Joe[00:02:04]

Well I tried three times to quit him boys[00:02:12]

But he did argue so[00:02:16]

That I'm still punching cattle[00:02:18]

In the pay of Diamond Joe[00:02:23]

And when I'm called up yonder[00:02:27]

And it comes my time to go[00:02:31]

Give my blankets to my buddies[00:02:37]

And give my fleece to Diamond Joe[00:02:45]
