Jack O'Diamonds, on the move 
Jack O'Diamonds, one-eyed knave 
On the move, hits the street 
Bumps his head, on the ground 
Well, he's a scout, you're born to lose 
Shouldn't stay 
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card to play 
Jack O'Diamonds, yeah Jack O'Diamonds 
This one-eyed prince, wears a ?single love? 
Oh sure, he's not that lovely 
Jack O'Diamonds broke my hand 
Left me here to stand 
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card to land 
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card 
Jack O'Diamonds is a high card 
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card 
But it ain't hard enough 
Jack O'Diamonds can open for riches 
Jack O'Diamonds but then it switches 
Colour by picture but it's only a ten 
Jack O'Diamonds, yeah Jack O'Diamonds 
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card to play 
Jack O'Diamonds, yeah Jack O'Diamonds 
This one-eyed prince, wears a ?single love? 
Oh sure, he's not that lovely 
Jack O'Diamonds broke my hand 
Left me here to stand 
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card to play 
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card 
Jack O'Diamonds is a high card 
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card 
But it ain't hard enough 
Jack O'Diamonds can open for riches 
Jack O'Diamonds but then it switches 
Colour by picture but it's only a ten
