Jack of diamonds wants his time
He's a starving friend of mine
Jack of diamonds was a hard card to play
Jack of diamonds wants a meal
He's gonna borrow, beg or steal
Jack of diamonds was a hard card to play
Jack of diamonds
Jack of diamonds was a hard card to play
I played him against a king
Well, I never won a thing
Jack of diamonds was a hard card to play
Well, I tore myself apart
Trying to play the jack of hearts
Jack of diamonds was a hard card to play
Well, I played him against a five
More dead than alive
Jack of diamonds was a hard card to play
Jack of diamonds can be tough
Well, I'm never high enough
Jack of diamonds was a hard card to play
Jack of diamonds in my eye
Play that card until I die
Jack of diamonds was a hard card to play
