Jack O'Diamonds - Fairport Convention

Jack O’Diamonds on the move

Jack O’Diamonds, one-eyed knave

On the move, hits the street

Bumps his head on the ground

Well, he’s a scout, you’re born to lose

Shouldn’t stay

Jack O’Diamonds is a hard card to play

Jack O’Diamonds, yeah Jack O’Diamonds

This one-eyed prince wears a single glove

Oh sure, he’s not that lovely

Jack O’Diamonds broke my hand

Left me here to stand

Jack O’Diamonds is a hard card to land

Jack O’Diamonds is a hard card

Jack O’Diamonds is a high card

Jack O’Diamonds is a hard card

But it ain’t hard enough

Jack O’Diamonds can open for riches

Jack O’Diamonds, but then it switches

Colour by picture, but it’s only a ten

Jack

Jack O’Diamonds, yeah Jack O’Diamonds

This one-eyed prince wears a single glove

Oh sure, he’s not that lovely

Jack O’Diamonds broke my hand

Left me here to stand

Jack O’Diamonds is a hard card to play

Jack O’Diamonds is a hard card

Jack O’Diamonds is a high card

Jack O’Diamonds is a hard card

But it ain’t hard enough

Jack O’Diamonds can open for riches

Jack O’Diamonds, but then it switches

Colour by picture, but it’s only a ten
