Diamond Joe 歌詞

There is a man you'll hear about Most every place you go And his holdings are in Texas And his name is Diamond Joe And he carries all his money In his diamond-studded jaw And he never was much bothered By the process of the law Well, I hired to Diamond Joe, boys I did offer him my hand And he gave me a string of horses So old they could not stand Well I liked to die of hunger 'Cause he did mistreat me so And I never earned one dollar In the pay of Diamond Joe Well his bread it was corn dodger And his meat I could not chaw And he drove me near distracted With that waggin' of his jaw While he tellin' of his story And I mean to let you know That there never was a rounder That lied like Diamond Joe Well, I tried three times to quit him Boys, but he did argue so That I still am punchin' cattle In the pay of Diamond Joe And when I'm called to heaven Last thing before I go Give my blankets to my buddies And give the fleas to Diamond Joe
