《Diamond Joe》歌词

[00:00:00] Diamond Joe (钻石乔) - Cisco Houston/Woody Guthrie

[00:00:06] There is a man you'll hear about

[00:00:10] Most every place you go

[00:00:17] And his holdings are in Texas

[00:00:23] And his name is Diamond Joe

[00:00:26] And he carries all his money

[00:00:29] In his diamond studded jaw

[00:00:33] And he never was much bothered

[00:00:37] By the process of the law

[00:00:42] Well I hired to Diamond Joe boys

[00:00:46] I did offer him my hand

[00:00:50] And he gave me a string of horses

[00:00:56] So old they could not stand

[00:00:58] Well I liked to die of hunger

[00:01:02] 'Cause he did mistreat me so

[00:01:05] And I never earned one dollar

[00:01:09] In the pay of Diamond Joe

[00:01:14] Well his bread it was corn dodger

[00:01:17] And his meat I could not chaw

[00:01:22] And he drove me near distracted

[00:01:29] With that waggin' of his jaw

[00:01:32] While he tellin' of his story

[00:01:35] And I mean to let you know

[00:01:39] That there never was a rounder

[00:01:42] That lied like Diamond Joe

[00:01:48] Well I tried three times to quit him

[00:01:52] Boys but he did argue so

[00:01:56] That I still am punchin' cattle

[00:02:03] In the pay of Diamond Joe

[00:02:05] And when I'm called to heaven

[00:02:08] Last thing before I go

[00:02:11] Give my blankets to my buddies

[00:02:16] And give the fleas to Diamond Joe
