|_ _(x22010) |_ _ _ | _ |_ _ _ | Now there's a man you'll hear about  Most anywhere you go  His holders are in Te-xas   And his name is Diamond Joe  And he carries all his mo-ney   In a diamond-studded jar                 He never was much bo-ther  By the process of the law |_ _|_ _ _ | _ |_ I hired the Diamond Joe boys I offered him my hand  And he gave me a string of hor-ses  So old they could not stand  And I nearly starved to death boys  He did mistreat me so                 And I never saved a dol-lar  In the pay of Diamond Joe |_ _|_ _ _ | _ |_ His bread it was corn dod-ger His meat I could not chaw  Nearly drove me there distracted  With the waggin' of his jaw  And the tellin' of his sto-ry    I aim to let you know                 That there was never a rounder  That lie like Diamond Joe |_ _|_ _ _ | _ |_ I tried three times to quit him boys But he did argue so  I'm still punchin' cat-tle  In the pay of Diamond Joe  And when I'm called up yon-der  Then it comes my time to go                 Give my blankets to my bud-dies  Give the fleas to D
