Lyrics:

Version 1 (2557-1) May 1926

Jack O' Di, Jack O' Diamond
Jack O' Diamond's a hard card to play
Jack O' Diamonds once in time
He did rob a friend of mine
Jack O' Diamonds is a hard card to play

Bet the Jack against the Queen
It's gonna turn your money green
Jack O' Diamonds is a hard card to play

Jack O' Di, Jack O' Diamond
Jack O' Diamond's a hard card to play

Bet the Jack again the Four
You're gonna win right in the dough
Jack O' Diamonds is a hard card to play

Jack O' Diamonds made me cry
I expect to gamble until I die
Jack O' Diamonds is a hard card to play

Jack O' Di, Jack O' Diamond
Jack O' Diamond's a hard card to play

Version 2 (2557-2) May 1926

Jack O' Di, Jack O' Diamond
Jack O' Di, Jack O' Diamond
Jack O' Diamond's a hard card to play
Jack O' Diamonds once in time
He did rob a friend of mine
Jack O' Diamonds is a hard card to play

Jack O' Di, Jack O' Diamond
Jack O' Diamond's a hard card to play
Bet the Jack against the Queen
It's gonna turn your money green
Jack O' Diamonds is a hard card to play

You can bet the Jack again the Four
You're gonna win right in the dough
Jack O' Diamonds is a hard card to play

Jack O' Di, Jack O' Diamond
Jack O' Diamond's a hard card to play
Jack O' Diamonds made me cry
I expect to gamble until I die
Jack O' Diamonds is a hard card to play

Jack O' Di, Jack O' Diamond
Jack O' Diamond's a hard card to play

Jack O' Di, Jack O' Diamond
Jack O' Diamond's a hard card to play
