Michael Martin Murphey - Jack Of Diamonds lyrics

rate me

Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds

I've known you of old

You've robbed my poor pockets

of silver and gold

Beafsteak when I'm hungry

Rye whiskey when I'm dry

Greenbacks when I'm hard up

And heaven when I die

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey

Rye whiskey I cry

If I don't get rye whiskey

I surely will die

Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds

I've known you of old

You've robbed my poor pockets

of silver and gold
