Diamond Joe Colter Wall

There is a man you'll hear about
Most everywhere you go
And his holdings are in Texas
And his name is Diamond Joe

And he carries all his money
In a diamond-studded jar
And he never was much bothered
By the process of the law

I hired out to Diamond Joe, boys
I did offer him my hand
And he gave me a string of horses
So old they could not stand

And I almost starved to death, boys
He did mistreat me so
And I never saved a dollar
In the pay of Diamond Joe

Well, his brеad it was corn dodger
And his meat, I could not chaw
And he drovе me near distracted
With the wagging of his jaw

And the telling of his stories
I mean to let you know
That there never was a rounder
That could lie like Diamond Joe
