Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds, I know you most of allnYou've robbed my poor pockets of silver and goldnAnd whiskey, you villain, you've been my down fallnYou've cuffed and you've kicked me but I loved you of oldnnOh, whiskey, rye whiskey, whiskey, I criednIf I don't get rye whiskey I surely will diennWell, I go yonder mountain and build me a stillnAnd I send you a gallon for a five dollar billnWell, it's beefcake when I'm hungry, whiskey when I'm drynAnd it's greenbacks when I'm hard off and hell when I diennI said, Whiskey, rye whiskey, whiskey, I criednIf I don't get rye whiskey I surely will diennIf the sea were made of Whiskey and I was a ducknI'd swim to the bottom and never come upnOh, but the sea ain't made of Whiskey and I ain't a ducknSo I'll play Jack of Diamonds and trust on my lucknnI said, Whiskey, rye whiskey, whiskey, I criednIf I don't get rye whiskey I surely will diennI said, Whiskey, rye whiskey, whiskey, I criednIf I don't get rye whiskey I surely will diennOhh, if I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die
Lyrics by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
