Drunkard's Hiccups (jack Of Diamonds) Lyrics - Singles - Tim O'brien

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 glass 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
