Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds

I've known you of old
You've robbed my poor pockets
of silver and gold

Beafsteak when I'm hungry
Rye whiskey when I'm dry
Greenbacks when I'm hard up
And heaven when I die

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey
Rye whiskey I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey
I surely will die

Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds
I've known you of old
You've robbed my poor pockets
of silver and gold
