Jack O' Diamonds Lyrics - Lonnie Donegan

Jack o' diamonds, Jack o' diamonds 

Jack o' diamonds is a hard card to find. 

When you play the game of life 

You've got trouble, you've got strife 

Jack o' diamonds is a hard card to find 

Life is like a game of cards 

But it's very, very hard 

Jack o' diamonds is a hard card to find 

Jack o' diamonds, Jack o' diamonds 

Diamonds is a hard card to find 

Jack o' diamonds, Jack o' diamonds 

Diamonds is a hard card to find 

Met a girl and lost my heart 

Lack of money made us part 

Jack o' diamonds is a hard card to find 

She said life ain't just a bet 

But I've never won it yet 

Jack o' diamonds is a hard card to find 

Jack o' diamonds, Jack o' diamonds 

Diamonds is a hard card to find 

Jack o' diamonds, Jack o' diamonds 

Diamonds is a hard card to find 

(Instrumental Break) 

Jack o' diamonds, Jack o' diamonds 

Diamonds is a hard card to find 

Jack o' diamonds, Jack o' diamonds 

Diamonds is a hard card to find 

So if you throw diamonds back 

You will never look back 

Jack o' diamond is a hard card to find 

You'll have learnt your lesson 

But you may 

Jack o' diamonds is a hard card to find 

Jack o' diamonds, Jack o' diamonds 

Diamonds is a hard card to find 

Jack o' diamonds, Jack o' diamonds 

Diamonds is a hard card to find 

Well they say that ace is high 

But I know that that's a lie 

Jack o' diamonds is a hard card to find 

The Queen of Hearts is way above 

'Cause her heart is singing love 

Jack o' diamonds is a hard card to find. 

Jack o' diamonds, Jack o' diamonds 

Diamonds is a hard card to find 

Jack o' diamonds, Jack o' diamonds 

Diamonds is a hard card to find. 

Diamonds is a hard card to find.
