Jack a diamond, jack a diamond take my money
You can have my life of luxury
You can have my precious silver studded saddle, oh Lord
But you cannot take my soul, cannot take my soul today.
Sweet mamma, oh sweet mamma won't you say you love me
Let me hold you, hold you in my arms
Please tell me I'm not really falling to pieces
Keep me tender, mama tender, now keep me warm.
Jack a diamond jack a diamond I still got my ace yeah
If you want me to do it I can throw it right in your face
Go and take my precious silver studded saddle yeah
But you cannot take my soul Lord you cannot take my soul today.
Jack a diamond, jack a diamond, gonna be alright...

Sweet mamma, oh sweet mamma won't you say you love me
Let me hold you, hold you in my arms
Please tell me I'm not really falling to pieces
Keep me tender, mama tender, now keep me warm.
Jack a diamond jack a diamond I still got my ace yeah
If you want me to do it I can throw it right in your face
Go and take my precious silver studded saddle yeah
But you cannot take my soul Lord you cannot take my soul today.
Jack a diamond, jack a diamond, gonna be alright...
