This is a traditional song off Bob Dylan's 1992 abum 'Good As I Been To You'.
Intro: A,A, F,F,F,F, G,G,G,G,G,
ANow There's a man you'll hear about
FMost anywhere you go,
GAnd his holdings are in Texas
And his name is DAiamond Joe.
AAnd he carries all his money
FIn a diamond-studded jar.
GHe never took much trouble
With the process of tAhe law.
AI hired out to Diamond Joe, boys,
FDid offer him my hand,
GHe gave a string of horses
So old they could nAot stand.
AAnd I nearly starved to death, boys,
FHe did mistreat me so,
GAnd I never saved a dollar
In the pay of DiaAmond Joe.
ANow his bread it was corn dodger
FAnd his meat you couldn't chaw,
GNearly drove me crazy
With the waggin' of hAis jaw.
AAnd the tellin' of his story,
FMean to let you know
GThat there never was a rounder
That could lie like DiaAmond Joe.
Instrumental
ANow, I tried three times to quit him,
FBut he did argue so
GI'm still punchin' cattle
In the pay of DiaAmond Joe
AAnd when I'm called up yonder
FAnd it's my time to go,
GGive my blankets to my buddies
Give the fleas to DAiamond Joe.
Sorry If wrong. I haven't listened to this song a lot.
Overall, enjoy!
