Version 1[Intro] G D/F# Em C G [Verse 1] G Em Now there's a man you'll hear about C D G Most everywhere you go, Em And his holdings are in Texas C D G And his name is Diamond Joe. G Em And he carried all of his money C D G In a diamond-studded jar. Em And he never was much bothered C D G With the process of the law. [Verse 2] G Em I hired out to Diamond Joe, boys, C D G I did offer him my hand, Em And he gave a string of horses C D G So old they could not stand. G Em And I nearly starved to death, boys, C D G He did mistreat me so, Em And I never saved a dollar C D G In the pay of Diamond Joe. [Verse 3] G Em Now his bread it was corn dodger C D G And his meat I could not chaw, Em And he drove me near distracted C D G With the waggin' of his jaw. G Em And the tellin' of his stories, C D G I mean to let you know Em That there never was a rounder C D G That could lie like Diamond Joe. [Verse 4] G Em Now, I tried three times to quit him, boys, C D G But he did argue so Em I'm still punchin' cattle C D G In the pay of Diamond Joe G Em And when I'm called up yonder C D G And it's my time to go, Em Give my blankets to my buddies C D G Give the fleas to Diamond Joe. [Outro] Em Give my blankets to my buddies C D G Give the fleas to Diamond Joe.
