[Verse 1]
Jack of diamonds
With your lonely eye
You're a wild one
I know you'll never be mine
I don't care, no
I got a fiddle and bow
I'll be welcome
Every little where I go

[Chorus]
Sweetbread when I'm hungry
Red liquor when I'm dry
I take a lover when I'm lonely
Blue sky, Lord, when I die
Sweetbread when I'm hungry
Red liquor when I'm dry
Take a lover when I'm lonely
Blue sky, Lord, when I die

[Verse 2]
Jack of diamonds
I ain't lookin' for a band of gold
Some are thinkin' 'bout arrival
Some drive just to ride the road
Engines runnin'
Spendin' all my money and time
Hallelujah
Honey in the by and by
[Chorus]
Sweetbread when I'm hungry
Red liquor when I'm dry
Take a lover when I'm lonely
Blue sky, Lord, when I die
Sweetbread when I'm hungry
Red liquor when I'm dry
Take a lover when I'm lonely
Blue sky, Lord, when I die

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Sweetbread when I'm hungry
Red liquor when I'm dry
Take a lover when I'm lonely
Blue sky, Lord, when I die
Sweetbread when I'm hungry
Red liquor when I'm dry
I take a lover when I'm lonely
Blue sky, Lord, when I die
Sweetbread when I'm hungry
Red liquor when I'm dry
Take a lover when I'm lonely
Blue sky, Lord, when I die
Sweetbread when I'm hungry
Red liquor when I'm dry
I take a lover when I'm lonely
Blue sky, Lord, when I die
[Outro]
Lord, when I die
When I die
When I die
Lord, when I die
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Mm
Mm
Mm, mm
