[Verse 1]
GEm
Well, there is a man you'll hear about
CDG
Most every place you go
CEm
And his holdings are in Texas
CDG
And his name is Diamond Joe
CEm
He carried all his money
CDG
In a diamond-studded jar
GEm
And he never was much bother
CDG
By the process of the law
[Verse 2]
GEm
Well, I hired out to Diamond Joe, boys
CDG
I did offer him my hand
CEm
And he gave me a string of horses
CDG
So old they could not stand
CEm
Oh, I like to starve to death, boys
CDG
He did mistreat me so
GEm
And I never saved a dollar
CDG
In the pay of Diamond Joe
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
GEm
Now his bread it was corn dodger
CDG
And his meat I could not chaw
CEm
And he like to drove me crazy
CDG
With the waggin' of his jaw
CEm
Oh, the tellin' of his stories
CDG
I mean to let you know
GEm
That there never was a rounder
CDG
That could lie like Diamond Joe
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
GEm
Well, I tried three times to quit him, boys
CDG
But he did argue so
CEm
That I'm still punchin' cattle
CDG
In the pay of Diamond Joe
CEm
And when I'm called up yonder
CDG
And it comes my time to go
GEm N.C.
I give my blankets to my buddies
C N.C. D N.C. G
And my fleas to Diamond Joe
