[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.
