<b>Jack Of Diamonds</b> by <i>Connie Dover</i><br />Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds, I know you of old

You have robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold

Tis raining, 'tis hailing, 'tis a dark stormy night

And my horses cannot travel for the moon gives no light

My horses cannot travel for the moon gives no light

Go put up your horses and feed them some hay

Then sit down beside me till the light of the day

My horses ain't hungry, they won't eat your hay

So fair thee well, Darlin', I'll be on my way

So fair thee well, Darlin', I'll be on my way

I'll build me a cabin on the mountain so high

Where the wild geese can see me as they pass me by

As sure as the dewdrop grows on the green corn

Last night you were with me but today you are gone

Last night you were with me but today you are gone

Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds, I know you of old

You have robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, I wish you no harm

But I wish I had a bottle as long as my arm

I wish I had a bottle as long as my arm
