Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well there is a man you hear about
Most every place you go
His holdings are in Texas
And his name is Diamond Joe
[Verse 2]
He carries all his money
In a diamond studded jar
And he never was much bother
By the process of the law
[Verse 3]
Well, I hired out to Diamond Joe, boys
I did offer him my hand
And he gave me a string of horses
So old they could not stand
[Verse 4]
Oh, I like to starve to death, boys
He did mistreat me so
And I never saved a dollar
In the pay of Diamond Joe
[Verse 5]
Now his bread, it was corn dodger
And his meat I could not chaw
And he likely drove me crazy
With the wagging of his jaw
[Verse 6]
Oh, the tellin' of his stories
I mean to let you know
That there never was a rounder
That could lie like Diamond Joe
[Verse 7]
Now, I tried three times to quit him, boys
But he did argue so
And I'm still punching cattle
In the pay of Diamond Joe
[Verse 8]
And when I'm called up yonder
And it comes my time to go
I'd give my blankets to my buddies
And my fleas to Diamond Joe
