Written by：Trad/ArrHouston

There is a man you'll hear about
有个人的故事传遍四方
Most every place you go
无论你走到何处都能听到
And his holdings are in texas
他的产业遍布德克萨斯州
And his name is diamond joe
人们都叫他钻石乔
And he carries all his money
他把全部钱财
In his diamond studded jaw
都藏在那镶钻的假牙里
And he never was much bothered
他向来逍遥法外
By the process of the law
从不受法律约束
Well I hired to diamond joe boys
我曾受雇于钻石乔伙计们
I did offer him my hand
主动向他伸出援手
And he gave me a string of horses
他却给了我一串老马
So old they could not stand
羸弱得站都站不稳
Well I liked to die of hunger
我差点饿死在荒野
'Cause he did mistreat me so
因他待我如此刻薄
And I never earned one dollar
在他手下干活这些年
In the pay of diamond joe
没赚到过一块银元
Well his bread it was corn dodger
他给的面包硬如玉米饼
And his meat I could not chaw
他的肉干得我咬不动
And he drove me near distracted
他那喋喋不休的唠叨
With that waggin' of his jaw
简直要把我逼疯
While he tellin' of his story
当他开始吹嘘往事
And I mean to let you know
我必须告诉你真相
That there never was a rounder
这世上再没有骗子
That lied like diamond joe
能比钻石乔更会撒谎
Well I tried three times to quit him
我曾三次试图离开他
Boys but he did argue so
可那家伙实在太能狡辩
That I still am punchin' cattle
如今我仍在为他放牧牛群
In the pay of diamond joe
没赚到过一块银元
And when I'm called to heaven
当死神最终召唤我时
Last thing before I go
在踏上黄泉路之前
Give my blankets to my buddies
我要把毯子留给伙伴们
And give the fleas to diamond joe
跳蚤就全送给钻石乔
