Fairport Convention - Jack O'diamonds lyrics

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

Jack O'Diamonds
