Jack O' Diamonds - Ruth Brown

I lost my heart to a gambler

Riverboat Dale was his name

He gambled from sunrise til sundown

Jack of Diamonds was his game

Jack of Diamonds

Jack of Diamonds

You brought me misery

Jack of Diamonds

Jack of Diamonds

You stole my love from me

He stacked his chips on the table

He had his gun by his side

They watched him as he shuffled

But no one saw him hide

He won a thousand dollars

Then he got ready to leave

But as he picked up his winnings

The Jack fell from his sleeve

They shot him, yes, they shot him

They killed my loving Dale

And they nailed the Jack of Diamonds

On his lonely grave

Jack of Diamonds

Jack of Diamonds

He brought me misery

Jack of Diamonds

Jack of Diamonds

He stole my love from me

Jack of Diamonds

Jack of Diamonds

Jack of Diamonds

Jack of Diamonds…
