The StableHands - Jack of Diamonds

Way up on Clinch Mountain
I wander alone
Drunk as the devil
Along way from home

My foots in the stirrup
My bridals in hand
I left my sweet Lilly
The fairest in the land

Her parents don't like me
They say I'm too poor
They say I'm unworthy
To enter her door

They say I drink whiskey
My money's my own
And them that don't like me
Can leave me alone

They talk of their knowledge
And brag of their sense
But they'll be forgotten
A hundreds years hence

Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
I know you of old
You robbed my poor pockets
Of silver and gold

Its whiskey you villain
You've been my downfall
You've kicked me and cuffed me
But I love you all

Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
I know you of old
You robbed my poor pockets
Of silver and gold

Its whiskey you villain
You've been my downfall
You've kicked me and cuffed me
But I love you all

Way up on Clinch Mountain
I wander alone
Drunk as the devil
Along way from home
