DJack O' Diamonds Jack O' Diamonds and I know you of old
You've robbed my poor pockets of A7silver and Dgold
Whiskey you villain you've been my downfall
You've kicked me you've cuffed me but I A7love you for Dall
It's a whiskey rye whiskey whiskey I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey well I A7think I will Ddie
[ooooh ahhhhh ooooh]
A7[drunken yell] [hiccuping]
D[drunken yell]
It's a beefsteak when I'm hungry rye whiskey when I'm dry
A greenback when I'm hard up it's a A7heaven when I Ddie
I'll go to yonder holler and I'll build me a still
Give you a gallon for a A7five dollar Dbill
It's a whiskey rye whiskey whiskey I cry
If a tree don't fall on me I'll A7live till I Ddie
[ooooh ahhhhh ooooh]
A7[drunken yell] [hiccuping]
D[drunken yell]
[slower tempo and less strumming]
If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom and A7never come Dup
[back to normal tempo]
But the ocean ain't whiskey and I ain't a duck
I'll play Jack O' Diamonds A7just to Dmuch ha ha ha
Whiskey rye whiskey whiskey I cry
Whiskey don't kill me I'll A7live till I Ddie
[ooooh ahhhhh ooooh]
A7[drunken yell] [hiccuping]
D[drunken yell]
