[00:07.65]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.
