Jack O’Diamonds Fairport Convention

Jack O'Diamonds on the move
Jack O'Diamonds, one-eyed knave
On the move, hits the street
Bumps his head on the ground
Well, he's a scout, you're born to lose
Shouldn't stay
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card to play

Jack O'Diamonds, yeah Jack O'Diamonds
This one-eyed prince wears a single glove
Oh sure, he's not that lovely
Jack O'Diamonds broke my hand
Left me here to stand
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card to land

Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card
Jack O'Diamonds is a high card
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card
But it ain't hard enough

Jack O'Diamonds can open for riches
Jack O'Diamonds, but then it switches
Colour by picture, but it's only a ten
Jack

Jack O'Diamonds, yeah Jack O'Diamonds
This one-eyed prince wears a single glove
Oh sure, he's not that lovely
Jack O'Diamonds broke my hand
Left me here to stand
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card to play
