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

Written by：Traditional[00:00:00]

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

Most everyplace you go[00:00:15]

And 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]

And he never was much bothered[00:00:40]

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

I hired out to diamond Joe boys[00:00:51]

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

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

So old they could not stand[00:01:02]

I like to starve to death boys[00:01:06]

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

Never saved a 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 waggin' of his jaw[00:01:46]

Oh the tellin' of his stories[00:01:48]

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

There never was a rounder[00:01:59]

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 punchin' 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 the fleas to diamond Joe[00:02:45]
