JACK O' DIAMONDS.

Jack o' Diamonds, Jack o' Diamonds,

Jack o' Diamonds is a hard card to roll.

Says, whenever I gets in jail,

Jack o' Diamonds goes my bail;

And I never, Lord, I never,

Lord, I never was so hard up before.

You may work me in the winter,

You may work me in the fall;

I'll get e-ven, I'll get e-ven,

I'll get even through that long summer's day.

Jack o' Diamonds took my money,

And the piker got my clothes;

And I ne-e-ver, and I ne-e-ver,

Lord, I never was so hard run before.

Says, whenever I gets in jail,

I'se got a Cap'n goes my bail;

And a Lu-u-la, and a Lu-u-la,

And a Lulu that's a hard-working chile.
