1
Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds, I know you most of all
2
You've robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold
3
And whiskey, you villain, you've been my down fall
4
You've cuffed and you've kicked me but I loved you of old
5
Oh, whiskey, rye whiskey, whiskey, I cried
6
If I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die
7
Well, I go yonder mountain and build me a still
8
And I send you a gallon for a five dollar bill
9
Well, it's beefcake when I'm hungry, whiskey when I'm dry
10
And it's greenbacks when I'm hard off and hell when I die
11
I said, "Whiskey, rye whiskey, whiskey", I cried
12
"If I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die"
13
If the sea were made of Whiskey and I was a duck
14
I'd swim to the bottom and never come up
15
Oh, but the sea ain't made of Whiskey and I ain't a duck
16
So I'll play Jack of Diamonds and trust on my luck
17
I said, "Whiskey, rye whiskey, whiskey", I cried
18
"If I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die"
19
I said, "Whiskey, rye whiskey, whiskey", I cried
20
"If I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die"
21
Ohh, if I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die
