Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds   I've known you to hold   To rob my poor pocket   Of silver and gold   Whiskey like rye   Tree don't fall on me   I'll live until I die      If the ocean was whiskey   And I was a duck   I'd dive to the bottom   And never come up   Now the ocean ain't whiskey   And I ain't a duck   I play jack of diamonds   And trust to luck      Whiskey-eye   Whiskey like rye   If whiskey don't kill me   I'll live until I die
