Don Edwards - Diamond Joe lyrics

Diamond Joe was a rich old jay Had lots of cowboys in his pay Rode the range with his cowboy band Many a mav'rick got his brand Well I hired out, offer Joe my hand Got a string of horses, so old they could not stand Like I died from hunger, he was treated as so Never earned a dollar off of Diamond Joe Roll on, boys, roll, don't you roll so slow Roll on, boys, roll, don't you roll so slow Ki-yippy-yay, yippy-kiai-ey Roll on, boys, roll, don't you roll so slow Roll on, boys, roll, don't you roll so slow Ki-yippy-yay, yippy-kiai-ey-oo I'm just a cowboy, ain't got no home Got no folks, so I'm bound to roam I work for the elves or the old bar-o Won't burn no brand for Diamond Joe Well, if I was rich like Diamond Joe I'd work today, I'd work no more He works me hard, and pays so slow Don't give a damn if I work or no Roll on, boys, roll, don't you roll so slow Roll on, boys, roll, don't you roll so slow Ki-yippy-yay, yippy-kiai-ey Roll on, boys, roll, don't you roll so slow Roll on, boys, roll, don't you roll so slow Ki-yippy-yay, yippy-kiai-ey-oo
