Diamond Joe

(album: Almost Acoustic - 1988)

Diamond Joe come and get me
My wife gonna quit me
Diamond Joe come and get me, Diamond Joe

Diamond Joe I don't know when
I'll ever be back here again
Diamond Joe come and get me, Diamond Joe

I got a brand new shiny tin
Keep my paper colors in
Diamond Joe come and get me, Diamond Joe

And I'm gonna walk in the city square
With all this bear grease in my hair
Diamond Joe come and get me, Diamond Joe

Got a brand new nickel and a shiny dime
We'll show those Boston girls a time
Diamond Joe come and get me, Diamond Joe

And I'm gonna get me a shiny gun
Just to show the boys some fun
Diamond Joe come and get me, Diamond Joe

When I land in the Boston jail
You're gonna come and go my bail
Diamond Joe come and get me, Diamond Joe

Diamond Joe don't you know
She should have left me long ago
Diamond Joe come and get me, Diamond Joe

Diamond Joe come and get me
My wife gonna quit me
Diamond Joe come and get me, Diamond Joe
