Diamond Joe (Live At Town Hall/2003)

[Verse 1]

When I got up this morning

Before the rising sun

I thought I heard him call my name

But I saw no one

And there's some up in those buildings

There's some out on the farm

And some are in to the graveyard

And some are headed home

[Chorus]

Diamond Joe

Come and get me, Diamond Joe

Come and get me, Diamond Joe

Hey, come and get me, Diamond Joe

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Diamond Joe

Come and get me, Diamond Joe

Come and get me, Diamond Joe

Hey, come and get me, Diamond Joe

[Verse 3]

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

Every time that you see me cryin'

That's my train fare home

[Chorus]

Diamond Joe

Come and get me, Diamond Joe

Come and get me, Diamond Joe

Hey, come and get me, Diamond Joe

Diamond Joe

Come and get me, Diamond Joe

Come and get me, Diamond Joe

Hey, come and get me, Diamond Joe
