Jack O' Diamonds

Jack o' diamonds jack o' diamonds and I know you of old

You've robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold

It's a whiskey you villain you've been my downfall

You've kicked me you've cuffed me but I loves you for all

It's a whiskey rye whiskey rye whiskey I cry

If I don't get rye whiskey well I think I will die

Beefsteak when I'm hungry red liquor when I'm dry

Greenbacks when I'm hard up and religion when I die

I’ll a go to yonder holler and I’ll build me a still

I’ll give you a gallon for a five dollar bill

Rye whiskey rye whiskey rye whiskey I cry

If a tree don't fall on me I'll live till I die

If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck

I'd dive to the bottom and never come up

But the ocean ain't whiskey and I ain't a no duck

I’ll play jack o’ diamonds and trust to my luck

Rye whiskey rye whiskey rye whiskey I cry

If the whiskey don't kill me I'll live till I die
