Intro
E,E, C,C,C,C, D,D,D,D,D,
B
Now There's a man you'll hear about
G
Most anywhere you go,
A
And his holdings are in Texas
B
And his name is Diamond Joe.
B
And he carries all his money
G
In a diamond-studded jar.
A
He never took much trouble
B
With the process of the law.
B
I hired out to Diamond Joe, boys,
G
Did offer him my hand,
A
He gave a string of horses
B
So old they could not stand.
B
And I nearly starved to death, boys,
G
He did mistreat me so,
A
And I never saved a dollar
B
In the pay of Diamond Joe.
B
Now his bread it was corn dodger
G
And his meat you couldn't chaw,
A
Nearly drove me crazy
B
With the waggin' of his jaw.
B
And the tellin' of his story,
G
Mean to let you know
A
That there never was a rounder
B
That could lie like Diamond Joe.
Instrumental
B
Now, I tried three times to quit him,
G
But he did argue so
A
I'm still punchin' cattle
B
In the pay of Diamond Joe
B
And when I'm called up yonder
G
And it's my time to go,
A
Give my blankets to my buddies
B
Give the fleas to Diamond Joe.
Sorry If wrong. I haven't listened to this song a lot.
Overall, enjoy!
