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