jack of diamonds

i've gambled in england

i've gambled in spain

going back to rhode island

gonna play my last game

gonna drink

gonna gamble

my money is my own

them that don't like me can leave me alone

jack of diamonds

jack of diamonds

i know you of old

you done robbed my poor pockets

of my silver and gold

gonna eat when i'm hungry

gonna drink when i'm dry

get to feeling much better

i'll sprout wings and fly

gonna take down my fiddle

gonna risin' up my bow

gonna make myself welcome

wherever i go

jack of diamonds

jack of diamonds

i know you of old

you done robbed my poor pockets

of my silver and gold
