Jack Odiamonds Chords & Lyrics - Tex Ritter

[C]Jack O' Diamonds Jack O' Diamonds and I know you of old

You've robbed my poor pockets of [G7]silver and [C]gold

It's a whiskey you villain you've been my downfall

You've kicked me you've cuffed me but I [G7]loves you for [C]all


It's a whiskey rye whiskey rye whiskey I cry

If I don't get rye whiskey well I [G7]think I will [C]die


Beefsteak when I'm hungry red liquor when I'm dry

Greenbacks when I'm hard up and [G7]religion when I [C]die


I’ll a go to yonder holler and I’ll build me a still

I’ll give you a gallon for a [G7]five dollar [C]bill


Rye whiskey rye whiskey rye whiskey I cry

If a tree don't fall on me I'll [G7]live till I [C]die


If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck

I'd dive to the bottom and [G7]never come [C]up


But the ocean ain't whiskey and I ain't a no duck

I’ll play Jack O’ Diamonds and [G7]trust to my [C]luck


Rye whiskey rye whiskey rye whiskey I cry

If the whiskey don't kill me I'll [G7]live till I [C]die
