[C#]
I whiskey, I whiskey, I whiskey, I cry.
If I don't get my whiskey, then surely I'll die.
Shack a diamond, shack a diamond, I know you'd follow me.
You'd rob my poor pockets of silver and gold.
If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck, I'd dive to the bottom and make my way up.
But the ocean ain't whiskey and I ain't a duck, so I'll play shack a diamond and trust
in my luck.
Shack a diamond, shack a diamond, I know you'd follow me.
You'd rob my poor pockets [D#] of silver [C#] and gold.
I'll eat when I'm hungry and drink when I'm dry.
If hard times don't get me, I'll live till I die.
Shack a diamond, shack a diamond, I know you'd follow me.
You'd rob my poor pockets of silver and gold.
It's cornbread when I'm hungry, I whiskey when I'm dry.
Pretty girls all around me, and religion when I die.
Shack a diamond, shack a diamond, I know you'd follow me.
You'd rob my poor pockets of silver and gold.
I'm a gambler, I'm a rambler, I'm a long ways from home.
And if you don't like me, better leave me alone.
Shack a diamond, shack a diamond, I know you'd follow me.
You'd rob my poor pockets of [G#] silver [C#] and gold.
You'd rob my poor pockets of silver and gold.
