                             There     is a man....    

    

VERS 1:
      G                           -/F#  Em
There is a man you'll hear about
     C    D         G
Most everywhere you go,
        C               G      -/F#  Em
And his holdings are in Te - xas
        C       D        G
And his name is Diamond Joe.
       C               G     -/F#  Em
And he carries all his money
     C       D       G
In a diamond-studded jar.
       G              G/H  C 
and he never was much bo - thered
       D              G
by the process of the law.
 


VERS 2:
        G                         -/F#  Em    (se *1)
I hired Out to Diamond Joe, boys
      C     D      G
I did Offer him my hand,
            C              G      -/F#  Em
and he gave me a string of horses
   C        D         G
So old they could not stand.
      C                 G          -/F#  Em 
And I like to starve to death, boys,
   C      D        G
He did mistreat me so,
      G             G/H   C  
And I never saved a dol - lar
       D              G
In the pay of Diamond Joe.

VERS 3:
His bread it was corn dodger
And his meat you could not chew,
And he drove me near distracted
With the waggin' of his jaw.
And the tellin' of his story,
Mean to let you know
That there never was a rounder
That could lie like Diamond Joe.
 
 
VERS 4:
Now, I tried three times to quit him boys,
But he did argue so
I'm still punchin' cattle
In the pay of Diamond Joe
And when I'm called up yonder
And it's my time to go,
Give my blankets to my buddies
Give the fleas to Diamond Joe.
