Diamond Joe, come get me
Diamond Joe, come and get me

When I got up this morning
Before the rising sun
I thought I heard him call my name
But I saw no one

There's some up in those buildings
And some out on the farm
Some have gone to the graveyard
Some are heading home

Diamond Joe
Come and get me Diamond Joe
Come and get me Diamond Joe
Come and get me Diamond Joe

The minutes feel like hours
The hours feel like days
And sometimes the dog will stay at home
But sometimes he'll run away

If I don't go crazy
I'm bound to lose my mind
I can't see nothing breaking, boys
Nothing but a long sight line

Diamond Joe
Come and get me Diamond Joe
Come and get me Diamond Joe
Come and get me Diamond Joe

Well I don't come from the city
And I ain't gonna work on this farm
Seems like every place I go
Wants to do me some harm

So go tell Aunt Mary
And my Uncle Jones
Everytime that you see me cry
That's my train fare home

Diamond Joe
Come and get me Diamond Joe
Come and get me Diamond Joe
Come and get me Diamond Joe
