Well [Dm]
[F]
there is a man [D] you hear about [Dm] most any [F] place you go
And his home's all [Dm] in Texas And his name [F] is Diamond Joe
He [C] carries all [Dm] his money in [F] a diamond-studded jar
And he never gave much thought to the process of the law
I hired out the [Dm] Diamond Joe boys I [F] did offer him my hand
Gave me a [Dm] string of horses So [F] weak and old they could barely stand
I nearly [Dm] starved the Death Boys [F] Yeah, he didn't treat me so
I never [Dm] saved a dollar [F] in the pay of Diamond Joe
Well his [D] name was [Dm] Corn Dodger [F] And his meat you couldn't tell
And then he [Dm] drove me crazy With [F] the wagging of his jaw
Oh, the telling [Dm] of this story I want the [F] truth to be told
Oh, there never [Dm] was a rounder Who [F] could lie like Diamond Joe
Well I [Dm]

tried three [Dm] times to quit him boys Oh, [Bb] but he [F] did argue so
And I'm still pushing cattle In the pay of Diamond Joe
Oh, and [D] I'm called a yonder [Dm] One last thing before I go
Give my blankets to [Dm] my buddies Give [F] the fleece to Diamond Joe
Give my blankets [Dm] to my buddies Give the [G] fleece to Diamond [F] Joe
