Lyrics
Ain't gonna work in the country And neither on Forester's farm I'm gonna stay 'till my Marybell come She gone call me Tom I'm gonna ask you a question Captain tell me no lie Will I stand this rotten old jail Till the day I die Diamond Joe come-a getta me, Diamond Joe I'm tired eating this cornbread And can't even wash when it rain If I could get me some meat and soap If I could lose my chain Diamond Joe come-a getta me, Diamond Joe Last night I heard the bloodhounds Two of the men done escape One was framed for murder And the other one framed for rape Diamond Joe will they catch 'em, Diamond Joe Now I bust rock in the summer In the spring winter and fall If I have me some powder Great God I'll blast me a hole in the wall Diamond Joe, come-a getta me Diamond Joe
