Lyrics
Jack o' Diamond, Jack o' Diamond and I know you of old You've robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold It's a whiskey, you villain, you've been my downfall You've kicked me, you've cuffed me, but I love you for all And it's a whiskey, rye whiskey Whiskey I cry If I don't get rye whiskey, well, I think I will die It's a beefsteak when I'm hungry Rye whiskey when I'm dry Greenbacks when I'm hard up Heaven when I die I'll a-go to yonder holl-er And I'll build me a still I'll give you a gallon for a five dollar bill Ha, whiskey, rye whiskey Whiskey, I cry If a tree don't fall on me I'll live 'til I die If the ocean was whiskey (ssss (hic)) And I was a duck I'd dive to the bottom and never come (hic) I meant to say "up" Now the ocean ain't whiskey (hic) I ain't a duck I'll play Jack o' Diamond And trust to my luck Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha Whiskey, rye whiskey Whiskey, I cry If a whiskey don't kill me I'll live 'til I die
