Jack O'Diamonds Songtext
von Lonnie Donegan

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 love
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 O'Diamonds, yeah Jack O′Diamonds Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card to play Jack O′Diamonds, yeah Jack O'Diamonds
This one-eyed prince, wears a single love
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
Jack O′Diamonds
