Jack-o-diamond, Jack-o-diamond, and I know you of old, you've robbed my pockets of silver and gold.It's a whiskey villain, you've been my downfall, you've kicked me, you've covered 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, greenback when I'm hard, a bowhead when I die.I'll a-goatee and a-holler and a-bill me a still, I'll give you a gallon for a five-dollar bill.A whiskey, rye whiskey, whiskey I cry, if a tree don't fall on me, I'll live till I die.Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah.Wih-ah!Ssssss-hup!Sssss-hup!Whiplah!If the ocean was whiskey, sssss-hup!And I was a duck,I'd dive to the bottom and never come up.I meant to say up.Now the ocean ain't whiskey,I ain't a duck.I'll play jack-o-diamond and trust to my luck.Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, whiskey, right, whiskey.Whiskey, I cry.If a whiskey don't kill me, I'll live till I die.
