Drunkard's Hiccups (Jack O' Diamonds)
I've played cards in England
I've gambled in Spain
Goin' back to Kentucky
Where I'll play my last game
My shoes are all torn up
My toes are stickin' out
But if you give me bourbon whiskey
I'll drink from the spout
Jack o' Diamonds, Jack o' Diamonds
I loved you far more
And you robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver and gold
Gonna eat when I'm hungry
Gonna drink when I'm dry
Get to feelin' any better
I might sprout wings and fly
Gonna take down my fiddle
Gonna rosin' up the bow
Gonna make myself welcome
Wherever I go
Jack o' Diamonds, Jack o' Diamonds
I loved you far more
You robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver and gold
Gonna drink I'm gonna gamble
All my money is my own
Them that don't like me
Can leave me alone
Gonna beat on the counter
Gonna make the glass ring
More brandy, more brandy
More brandy to bring
Jack o' Diamonds, Jack o' Diamonds
I've known you far more
And you robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver and gold
And if the river was whiskey
And I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom
And never come up
But the river ain't whiskey
And I ain't no duck
I'll drink to these hiccups
And trust to my luck
Jack o' Diamonds, Jack o' Diamonds
I loved you far more
You've robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver and gold
I've gambled in Spain
Goin' back to Kentucky
Where I'll play my last game
My shoes are all torn up
My toes are stickin' out
But if you give me bourbon whiskey
I'll drink from the spout
Jack o' Diamonds, Jack o' Diamonds
I loved you far more
And you robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver and gold
Gonna eat when I'm hungry
Gonna drink when I'm dry
Get to feelin' any better
I might sprout wings and fly
Gonna take down my fiddle
Gonna rosin' up the bow
Gonna make myself welcome
Wherever I go
Jack o' Diamonds, Jack o' Diamonds
I loved you far more
You robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver and gold
Gonna drink I'm gonna gamble
All my money is my own
Them that don't like me
Can leave me alone
Gonna beat on the counter
Gonna make the glass ring
More brandy, more brandy
More brandy to bring
Jack o' Diamonds, Jack o' Diamonds
I've known you far more
And you robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver and gold
And if the river was whiskey
And I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom
And never come up
But the river ain't whiskey
And I ain't no duck
I'll drink to these hiccups
And trust to my luck
Jack o' Diamonds, Jack o' Diamonds
I loved you far more
You've robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver and gold
