^GNow there's a man you'll ^Emhear about Most ^Canywhere you ^Ggo, And his holdings are in ^CTexas And his name is Diamond ^GJoe.

^GAnd he carries all his ^Cmoney In a diamond-studded ^Gjar. He never took much t^Emrouble With the ^Cprocess of the ^Glaw.

^GI hired out to Diamond ^EmJoe, boys, Did ^Coffer him my ^Ghand, He gave a string of ^Chorses So old they could not ^Gstand.

^GAnd I nearly starved to ^Cdeath, boys, He did mistreat me ^Gso, And I never saved a ^Emdollar In the ^Cpay of Diamond J^Goe.

^GNow his bread it was corn ^Emdodger And his ^Cmeat you couldn't ^Gchaw, Nearly drove me ^Ccrazy With the waggin' of his ^Gjaw.

^GAnd the tellin' of his ^Cstory, Mean to let you ^Gknow That there never was a ^Emrounder That could ^Clie like Diamond ^GJoe.

^GAnd when I'm called up ^Cyonder And it's my time to ^Ggo, Give my blankets to my ^Embuddies Give the ^Cfleas to Diamond J^Goe.
