Tim O'brien - Drunkard's Hiccups (Jack Of Diamonds) lyrics

I've played cards in England I've gambled in Spain Goin back to Carolina Gonna play my last game Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds I've known you from old You've robbed my poor pockets Of silver and gold Gonna eat when I'm hungry Gonna drink when I'm dry Get to feelin much better Gonna sprout wings and fly Gonna take down my fiddle Gonna rosin up the bow Gonna make myself welcome Wherever I go Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds I've known you from old You've robbed my poor pockets Of silver and gold Gonna drink, gonna gamble All my money is my own Them that don't like me Can leave me alone Gonna beat on the counter Gonna make the gla** ring More brandy, more brandy More brandy to bring If the river was whiskey And I was a duck I'd dive to the bottom And never come up But the river ain't whiskey And I ain't no duck I'll play these drunkard's hiccups And trust to my luck
