《Diamond Joe》歌词

[00:00:00] Diamond Joe - Guy Clark

[00:00:28] Now there's a man you'll hear about

[00:00:32] Most anywhere you go

[00:00:36] And his holdings are in Texas

[00:00:39] And his name is Diamond Joe

[00:00:42] And he carries all his money

[00:00:46] In a diamond studded jar

[00:00:48] He never took much trouble

[00:00:50] With the process of the law

[00:00:55] I hired out to Diamond Joe boys

[00:00:58] Did offer him my hand

[00:01:00] He gave a string of horses

[00:01:04] So old they could not stand

[00:01:06] And I nearly starved to death boys

[00:01:09] He did mistreat me so

[00:01:12] And I never saved a dollar

[00:01:16] In the pay of Diamond Joe

[00:01:42] Now his bread it was corn dodger

[00:01:45] And his meat you couldn't chaw

[00:01:48] Nearly drove me crazy

[00:01:52] With the waggin' of his jaw

[00:01:55] And the tellin' of his story

[00:01:59] Mean to let you know

[00:02:02] That there never was a rounder

[00:02:07] That could lie like Diamond Joe

[00:02:09] Now I tried three times to quit him

[00:02:14] But he did argue so

[00:02:18] I'm still punchin' cattle

[00:02:22] In the pay of Diamond Joe

[00:02:26] And when I'm called up yonder

[00:02:30] And it's my time to go

[00:02:34] Give my blankets to my buddies

[00:02:39] Give the fleas to Diamond Joe
