Jack-A-Diamond

(David Moore)



Jack a diamond, jack a diamond take my money

You can have my life of luxury

You can have my precious silver studded saddle, oh Lord

But you cannot take my soul, cannot take my soul today.



Sweet mamma, oh sweet mamma won't you say you love me

Let me hold you, hold you in my arms

Please tell me I'm not really falling to pieces

Keep me tender, mama tender, now keep me warm.



Jack a diamond jack a diamond I still got my ace yeah

If you want me to do it I can throw it right in your face

Go and take my precious silver studded saddle yeah

But you cannot take my soul Lord you cannot take my soul today.



Jack a diamond, jack a diamond, gonna be alright...
