Well, there is a man you'll hear about

Most every place you go
    C majorC        E minorEm
And his holdings are in Texas

And his name is Diamond Joe

  C majorC          E minorEm
He carried all his money
   C majorC    D MajorD    G+G

    C majorC            E minorEm
And he gave me a string of horses
  C majorC    D MajorD     G+G
So old they could not stand

   C majorC              E minorEm
Oh
I like to starve to death, boys
  C majorC   D MajorD    G+G

    C majorC   D MajorD    G+G
In the pay of Diamond Joe

Now his bread it was corn dodger

And his meat I could not chaw
    C majorC          E minorEm

With the waggin' of his jaw

I mean to let you know

That I'm still punchin' cattle
    C majorC   D MajorD    G+G
In the pay of Diamond Joe

  C majorC           E minorEm
And when I'm called up yonder
    C majorC    D MajorD    G+G
And it comes my time to go

And my fleas to Diamond Joe
