FJack O' Diamonds Jack O' Diamonds and I know you of old
You've robbed my poor pockets of C7silver and Fgold
Whiskey you villain you've been my downfall
You've kicked me you've cuffed me but I C7love you for Fall
It's a whiskey rye whiskey whiskey I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey well I C7think I will Fdie
[ooooh ahhhhh ooooh]
C7[drunken yell] [hiccuping]
F[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 C7heaven when I Fdie
I'll go to yonder holler and I'll build me a still
Give you a gallon for a C7five dollar Fbill
It's a whiskey rye whiskey whiskey I cry
If a tree don't fall on me I'll C7live till I Fdie
[ooooh ahhhhh ooooh]
C7[drunken yell] [hiccuping]
F[drunken yell]
[slower tempo and less strumming]
If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom and C7never come Fup
[back to normal tempo]
But the ocean ain't whiskey and I ain't a duck
I'll play Jack O' Diamonds C7just to Fmuch ha ha ha
Whiskey rye whiskey whiskey I cry
Whiskey don't kill me I'll C7live till I Fdie
[ooooh ahhhhh ooooh]
C7[drunken yell] [hiccuping]
F[drunken yell]
