Jack of Diamonds (2) – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 340

The first (and only) person I’ve heard play and sing this song (Jack of Diamonds) is Mike Moxey, which is why it’s fitting that this is a recording of Mike Moxey playing Jack of Diamonds at the Bluegrass Jam at Avogadro’s Number.

We had some technical difficulties with the recording, so I apologize in advance for the video quality. This is NOT the typical fiddle tune Jack of Diamonds (also known as Drunkard’s Hiccups), which I played earlier this year, or the Jack of Diamonds breakdown. This is a totally different Jack of Diamonds.

I hope you enjoy it. 🙂

 

 

Jack of Diamonds Lyrics

Had a girl she broke my heart, 
lack of dough it made us part. 
Jack of Diamonds it’s a hard card to find. 
She said, “Life is just a bet, 
and I haven’t won it yet.” 
Jack of Diamonds it’s a hard card to find.

Hey, hey, Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds. 
Diamonds it’s a hard card to find. 
Hey, hey, Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds. 
Diamonds it’s a hard card to find.

When you play that Diamond Jack 
you will never once look back. 
Jack of Diamonds it’s a hard card to find. 
They have luck and they have spells 
but they haven’t won their hells. 
Jack of Diamonds it’s a hard card to find.

Some say the Ace is high 
but I know that it’s a lie. 
Jack of Diamonds it’s a hard card to find. 
The Queen is way above 
cause the highest thing is love. 
Jack of Diamonds it’s a hard card to find.
