Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I lost my heart
To a gambler
Riverboat Dale was his name
He gambled from sunrise till sundown
Jack of Diamonds was his game
[Verse 2]
Jack O'Diamonds, Jack O'Diamonds
You brought me misery
Jack O'Diamonds, Jack O'Diamonds
You stole my love from me
[Verse 3]
He stacked his chips on the table
He had his gun by his side
They watched him as he shuffled
But no one saw him hide
[Verse 4]
Jack O'Diamonds, Jack O'Diamonds
You brought me misery
Jack O'Diamonds, Jack O'Diamonds
You stole my love from me
[Verse 5]
He won a thousand dollars
Then he got ready to leave
But as he picked up his winnings
The Jack fell from his sleeve
[Verse 6]
Jack O'Diamonds, Jack O'Diamonds
You brought me misery
Jack O'Diamonds, Jack O'Diamonds
You stole my love from me
[Verse 7]
They shot him, yes, they shot him
They killed my loving Dale
And they nailed the Jack of Diamonds
On his lonely grave
[Verse 8]
Jack O'Diamonds, Jack O'Diamonds
He stole my love from me
Jack O'Diamonds, Jack O'Diamonds
He brought me misery
[Verse 9]
Jack O'Diamonds, Jack O'Diamonds
Jack O'Diamonds, Jack O'Diamonds
Jack O'Diamonds, Jack O'Diamonds
Jack O'Diamonds, Jack O'Diamonds
