Jack o' diamonds is a hard card to play
Jack o' diamonds is a hard card to play
Jack o' oiamonds is a card
Sending many poor man to his grave
Jack o' diamonds is a hard card to play

Your Jack is a hard card to play

Well I'll tell you

Man you're far to win
Keep your Jack on the Queen
It'll turn your money green
Jack o' diamonds is a hard card to play
