Diamond Joe

—Georgia Crackers

Diamond Joe come and get me,
My wife now done quit me
Diamond Joe, you better come get me
Diamond Joe

I'm gonna buy me a sack of flour
Cook a hoecake every hour.
Diamond Joe, you better come get me
Diamond Joe

I'm gonna buy me a piece of meat,
Cook me a slice once a week.
Diamond Joe, you better come get me
Diamond Joe

I'm gonna buy me a sack of meal.
Take a hoecake to the field.
Diamond Joe, you better come get me
Diamond Joe

I'm gonna buy me a jug of whiskey,
I'm gonna make my baby frisky.
Diamond Joe, you better come get me
Diamond Joe

I'm gonna buy me a jug of rum,
I'm gonna give my Ida some.
Diamond Joe, you better come get me
Diamond Joe

Diamond Joe come and get me,
My wife now done quit me
Diamond Joe, you better come get me
Diamond Joe
