Just had an e-mail from Paul Leegan
Hi Les, as per the "Folk Sing" songbook - new words and music by Lonnie Donegan and Jimmy Currie.
Hope this has helped!
Whereabouts in the UK are you from? Have we already met? I don't know whether you have seen us perform, but if you haven't, do come along to one of our shows and say hello.
I was so pleased that Lon and I became good friends over the last few years and that he liked what I was doing, so much so that he gave me his blessing to be his tribute performer.
Best Wishes
Paul Leegan
Verses are as follows: -
Jack o' diamonds
Jack o' diamonds
Diamonds is a hard card to find
Jack o' diamonds
Jack o' diamonds
Diamonds is a hard card to find
When you play the game of life
You've got trouble, you've got strife
Jack of diamonds is a hard card to find
Life is like a game of cards
Buts it's very hard to find
Jack of diamonds is a hard card to find
Jack o' diamonds
Jack o' diamonds
Diamonds is a hard card to find
Jack o' diamonds
Jack o' diamonds
Diamonds is a hard card to find
Met a girl and lost my heart
Lack of money made us part
Jack o' diamonds is a hard card to find
She said life is just a bet
But I've never won it yet
Jack o' diamonds is a hard card to find
Jack o' diamonds
Jack o' diamonds
Diamonds is a hard card to find
Jack o' diamonds
Jack o' diamonds
Diamonds is a hard card to find
Dig it up Jimmy
(Guitar instrumental)
Yeah Lord
Jack o' diamonds
Jack o' diamonds
Diamonds is a hard card to find
Jack o' diamonds
Jack o' diamonds
Diamonds is a hard card to find
If you throw a diamond jack
You will never once look back
Jack o' diamonds is a hard card to find
You'll have luck and you'll have wealth
But you may never have your health
Jack o' diamonds is a hard card to find
Jack o' diamonds
Jack o' diamonds
Diamonds is a hard card to find
Jack o' diamonds
Jack o' diamonds
Diamonds is a hard card to find
People say that ace is high
But I know that it's a lie
Jack o' diamonds is a hard card to find
Queen of hearts is way above
Cause the highest thing is love
Jack o' diamonds is a hard card to find
Jack o' diamonds
Jack o' diamonds
Diamonds is a hard card to find
Jack o' diamonds
Jack o' diamonds
Diamonds is a hard card to find
