Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds   I know you most of all   You've robbed my poor pockets   Of silver and gold   And whiskey, you villain,   You've been my down-fall   You've cuffed and you've kicked me   But I loved you of old      Oh whiskey, Rye whiskey,   Whiskey I cried   If I don't get rye whiskey   I surely will die      Well I go yonder mountain   And build me a still   And I send you a gallon   For a five dollar bill   Well it's beefcake when I'm hungry,   Whiskey when I'm dry   And it's greenbacks   When I'm hard off   And Hell when I die      I said whiskey, rye whiskey,   Whiskey I cried   If I don't get rye whiskey   I surely will die      If the sea were made of whiskey and I was a duck   I'd swim to the bottom and never come up   Oh, but the sea ain't made of whiskey and I ain't a duck   So I play Jack Of Diamonds and trust on my luck      I said whiskey, rye whiskey,   Whiskey I cried   If I don't get rye whiskey   I surely will die      I said whiskey, rye whiskey,   Whiskey I cried   If I don't get rye whiskey   I surely will die   If I don't get rye whiskey   I surely will die
