This is a traditional song off Bob Dylan's 1992 abum 'Good As I Been To You'.
Intro: E,E, C,C,C,C, D,D,D,D,D,
ENow There's a man you'll hear about
CMost anywhere you go,
DAnd his holdings are in Texas
And his name is DEiamond Joe.
EAnd he carries all his money
CIn a diamond-studded jar.
DHe never took much trouble
With the process of tEhe law.
EI hired out to Diamond Joe, boys,
CDid offer him my hand,
DHe gave a string of horses
So old they could nEot stand.
EAnd I nearly starved to death, boys,
CHe did mistreat me so,
DAnd I never saved a dollar
In the pay of DiaEmond Joe.
ENow his bread it was corn dodger
CAnd his meat you couldn't chaw,
DNearly drove me crazy
With the waggin' of hEis jaw.
EAnd the tellin' of his story,
CMean to let you know
DThat there never was a rounder
That could lie like DiaEmond Joe.
Instrumental
ENow, I tried three times to quit him,
CBut he did argue so
DI'm still punchin' cattle
In the pay of DiaEmond Joe
EAnd when I'm called up yonder
CAnd it's my time to go,
DGive my blankets to my buddies
Give the fleas to DEiamond Joe.
Sorry If wrong. I haven't listened to this song a lot.
Overall, enjoy!
