Diamond Joe Lyrics
Most anywhere you go
And his holdings are in Texas
And his name is Diamond Joe.
In a diamond-studded jar
He never took much trouble
With the process of the law.
Did offer him my hand
He gave a string of horses
So old they could not stand.
He did mistreat me so
And I never saved a dollar
In the pay of Diamond Joe.
And his meat you couldn't chaw
Nearly drove me crazy
With the waggin'of his jaw.
Mean to let you know
That there never was a rounder
That could lie like Diamond Joe.
But he did argue so
I'm still punchin' cattle
In the pay of Diamond Joe.
And it's my time to go
Give my blankets to my buddies
Give the fleas to Diamond Joe.
i love this song. it's one of his newer songs that i actually like. it's a "prettier" song than we're used to from mr. zimmerman. you can hear passion and emotion in this song, whereas most of his other newer stuff is "music for the sake of making music" in my opinion. i haven't listened to his brand new album yet; maybe i'll change my mind about the current dylan.
It's not actually a 'new' song - 'Good as I Been to You' is an album of covers - mostly traditional folk songs.

I think this might be very old. In any case, I know about it from another Woody Guthrie disciple, Ramblin Jack Elliott, circa 1962. So its certainly not a new Dylan song.
