  • 作词 : Traditional
    1. Now There's a man you'll hear about
    Most anywhere you go,
    And his holdings are in Texas
    And his name is Diamond Joe.

    2. And he carries all his money
    In a diamond-studded jar.
    He never took much trouble
    With the process of the law.

    3. I hired out to Diamond Joe, boys,
    Did offer him my hand,
    He gave a string of horses
    So old they could not stand.

    4. And I nearly starved to death, boys,
    He did mistreat me so,
    And I never saved a dollar
    In the pay of Diamond Joe.

    5. Now his bread it was corn dodger
    And his meat you couldn't chaw,
    Nearly drove me crazy
    With the waggin' of his jaw.

    6. And the tellin' of his story,
    Mean to let you know
    That there never was a rounder
    That could lie like Diamond Joe.

    Instrumental

    7. Now, I tried three times to quit him,
    But he did argue so
    I'm still punchin' cattle
    In the pay of Diamond Joe.

    8. And when I'm called up yonder
    And it's my time to go,
    Give my blankets to my buddies
    Give the fleas to Diamond Joe.
