Jack O' Diamonds
I lost my heart to a gambler
Riverboat Dale was his name
He gambled from sunrise til sundown
Jack of Diamonds was his game
(CHORUS)
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
You brought me misery
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
You stole my love from me
He stacked his chips on the table
He had his gun by his side
They watched him as he shuffled
But no one saw him hide
(CHORUS)
He won a thousand dollars
Then he got ready to leave
But as he picked up his winnings
The Jack fell from his sleeve
(CHORUS)
They shot him, yes, they shot him
They killed my loving Dale
And they nailed the Jack of Diamonds
On his lonely grave
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
He brought me misery
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
He stole my love from me
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds.......
Jack O' Diamonds
Perdí mi corazón con un jugador
Dale, el del barco de vapor, era su nombre
Jugaba desde el amanecer hasta el atardecer
El juego de Jack of Diamonds era su juego
(CORO)
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
Me trajiste miseria
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
Me robaste el amor
Apilaba sus fichas en la mesa
Tenía su pistola a su lado
Lo observaban mientras barajaba
Pero nadie lo vio esconder
(CORO)
Ganó mil dólares
Luego se preparó para irse
Pero al recoger sus ganancias
El Jack cayó de su manga
(CORO)
Lo dispararon, sí, lo dispararon
Matando a mi amado Dale
Y clavaron el Jack of Diamonds
En su solitaria tumba
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
Él me trajo miseria
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
Él me robó el amor
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds...
