Lyrics
There is a man you'll hear about Most everywhere you go And his holdings are in Texas And his name is Diamond Joe And he carries all his money In a diamond-studded jar And he never was much bothered By the process of the law 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 And I almost starved to death, boys He did mistreat me so And I never saved a dollar In the pay of Diamond Joe Well, his br?ad it was corn dodger And his meat, I could not chaw And he drov? me near distracted With the wagging of his jaw And the telling of his stories I mean to let you know That there never was a rounder That could lie like Diamond Joe I tried three times to quit him, boys But he did argue so I'm still punchin' cattle In the pay of Diamond Joe And when I'm called up yonder And it comes my time to go Give my blankets to my buddies Give the fleas to Diamond Joe Give my blankets to my buddies Give the fleas to Diamond Joe
