Текст песни Jack O' Diamonds - Mance Lipscomb

Well I played him in the spring
And he never won a thing
Jack of Diamonds was a hard card to play
Well I played him in the fall
And he never won at all
Jack of Diamonds was a hard card to play
I fell down on my knees
Tryin' 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
Put the Jack when it weren't no use
Jack of Diamonds was a hard card to play
Well I played him 'gainst the Trey
It was on a five I lay
Jack of Diamonds was a hard card to play
And I played the Jack 'gainst the Four
Turned the Jack right in the door
Jack of Diamonds was a hard card to play
I played him 'gainst the Five
That laid like to make me cry
Jack of Diamonds was a hard card to play
And I played him 'gainst the Six
It done 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 papa's pay day
And I played the Jack 'gainst the King
And it made the dealer sing
Jack of Diamonds was a hard card to play
I played him 'gainst the Queen
And it turned my money green
Jack of Diamonds was a hard card to play
