Most anywhere you go

And he carries all his money

In a diamond studded jar

He never took much trouble

I hired out to Diamond Joe boys

Did offer him in my hand

So old they could not stand

In the pay of Diamond Joe

Now his bread it was corn dodger

And his meat you couldn't chaw

Nearly drove me crazy

With the waggin' of his jaw

That there never was a rounder

Give my blankets to my buddies
