Drunkard`s Hiccups (Jack Of Diamonds) — текст песни (Tim O`Brien)

I`ve played cards in England
I`ve gambled in Spain
Goin back to Carolina
Gonna play my last game
Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds
I`ve known you from old
You`ve robbed my poor pockets
Of silver and gold

Gonna eat when I`m hungry
Gonna drink when I`m dry
Get to feelin much better
Gonna sprout wings and fly
Gonna take down my fiddle
Gonna rosin up the bow
Gonna make myself welcome
Wherever I go
Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds
I`ve known you from old
You`ve robbed my poor pockets
Of silver and gold

Gonna drink, gonna gamble
All my money is my own
Them that don`t like me
Can leave me alone
Gonna beat on the counter
Gonna make the glass ring
More brandy, more brandy
More brandy to bring

If the river was whiskey
And I was a duck
I`d dive to the bottom
And never come up
But the river ain`t whiskey
And I ain`t no duck
I`ll play these drunkard`s hiccups
And trust to my luck
