Jack of Diamonds

Well I played him in of spring 
And he never won a thing 

Jack of Diamonds was a hard card to play

Well I played him in of fall
And he never won at all

Jack of Diamonds was a hard card to play

I fell down on my knees
Tried to play Jack of Spades

Jack of Diamonds was a hard card to play 

Well I played him 'gainst the ace
He was a starvation in my face

Jack of Diamonds was a hard card to play

Well I played him 'gainst the deuce
pulled a jack when it weren't no use

Jack of Diamonds was a hard card to play

Well I played him 'gainst the tre
It was on ??it a fiver lay??

Jack of Diamonds was a hard card to play 

And I played the jack 'gainst the four
Turned the jack's red indigo

Jack of Diamonds was a hard card to play 

I played him 'gainst the five
That Abe Lincoln made me cry

Jack of Diamonds was a hard card to play

And I played him 'gainst the six
It left me in a terrible fix

Jack of Diamonds was a hard card to play

And I told you last week 
Just as plain as a man could speak
I'm gonna send you to your proper pay day

And I played the jack 'gainst the king
And it made the deal sing

Jack of diamonds was a hard card to play

And I played it 'gainst the queen
And it turned my money green

Jack of diamonds was a hard card to play
