Jack Of Diamonds

The Byrds

Compositor: Jörgen Elofsson

I've known you of old
You've robbed my poor pockets
of silver and gold


Beafsteak when I'm hungry
Rye whiskey when I'm dry
Greenbacks when I'm hard up
And heaven when I die


Rye whiskey, rye whiskey
Rye whiskey I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey
I surely will die


Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds
I've known you of old
You've robbed my poor pockets
of silver and gold
