There is a man you'll hear aboutMost every place you go,And his holdings are in TexasAnd his name is Diamond Joe.And he carries all his moneyIn his diamond-studded jaw.And he never was much botheredBy the process of the law.Well, I hired to Diamond Joe, boys,I did offer him my hand,And he gave me a string of horsesSo old they could not stand.Well I liked to die of hunger'Cause he did mistreat me so,And I never earned one dollarIn the pay of Diamond Joe.Well his bread it was corn dodgerAnd his meat I could not chaw,And he drove me near distractedWith that waggin' of his jaw.While he tellin' of his story,And I mean to let you know,That there never was a rounderThat lied like Diamond Joe.Letras de cancionesWell, I tried three times to quit him,Boys, but he did argue soThat I still am punchin' cattleIn the pay of Diamond Joe.And when I'm called to heavenLast thing before I go,Give my blankets to my buddiesAnd give the fleas to Diamond Joe.
