[00:00:00] Diamond Joe - Ramblin' Jack Elliott

[00:00:00] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:10] Now there's a man you'll hear about

[00:00:15] Most everyplace you go

[00:00:18] And his holdings are in Texas

[00:00:24] And his name is diamond Joe

[00:00:28] And he carries all his money

[00:00:33] In a diamond studded jar

[00:00:40] And he never was much bothered

[00:00:44] By the process of the law

[00:00:51] I hired out to diamond Joe boys

[00:00:56] I did offer him my hand

[00:00:58] And he give me a string of horses

[00:01:02] So old they could not stand

[00:01:06] I like to starve to death boys

[00:01:12] He did mistreat me so

[00:01:18] Never saved a dollar

[00:01:22] In the pay of diamond Joe

[00:01:37] Well his bread it was corn dodger

[00:01:40] His meat I couldn't chaw

[00:01:42] And he drove me near distracted

[00:01:46] With the waggin' of his jaw

[00:01:48] Oh the tellin' of his stories

[00:01:53] I aim to let you know

[00:01:59] There never was a rounder

[00:02:04] That lied like diamond Joe

[00:02:12] Well I tried three times to quit him boys

[00:02:16] But he did argue so

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

[00:02:23] In the pay of diamond Joe

[00:02:27] And when I'm called up yonder

[00:02:31] And it comes my time to go

[00:02:37] Give my blankets to my buddies

[00:02:45] And give the fleas to diamond Joe
