I remembered one more verse:

    Ah whisky, you villan, you've been my down fall.
    You've cursed me and cuffed me but I love ya for all.

I think that one came in just before the "ocean" verse. Glad I could contribute.

Also, I had an aunt who died in her late 80's about 10 years ago who remembered "Jack of Diamonds" as a child! Her father, my grandfather, was born in Indian Terr. Oklahoma ca. 1880 Pike Co. Chief Red Cloud was on the reservation by then and was their neighbor.

She had some old alternate verses to Red River Valley but those are lost forever as well as some different verses to Sweet Betsy from Pike. I do remember some of my Grandmother's stories about growing up in those times. A lot of it had to do with hunger and hard times and cotton.
