Jack o' diamonds

Oh Sally, oh Sally, 'tis for your sake alone That I leave my old parents, my house and my home That I leave my old parents, you cause me to roam I'm an old rambling cowpoke and the range is my home Jack O' diamonds, Jack O' diamonds, I know you of old You've robbed by poor pockets of silver and gold Oh, whiskey, you villain, you've been my downfall You've punched me and kicked me, but I love you for all My foot's in my stirrup, my bridle's in my hand I'm going to leave Sally, the fairest in the land Her Daddy don't like me, he says I'm too poor He says I'm unworthy to enter her door * Refrain They say I drink whisky, my money is my own And them that don't like me can leave me alone I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry I'll do what I please and I'll live 'till I die * Refrain I'll get you up in my saddle, my quirt in my hand I'll think of you, Sally when in some distant land I'll think of you, Sally you caused me to roam I'm an old rambling cowpoke and the range is my home * Refrain
