Corn whiskey and pretty women they've been my downfall; they've beat me and they banged me but I love them for all.
Up in the morning, I stagger I reel; daw gone that corn whiskey how bad I do feel.
Jack o'diamonds, jack o'diamonds, I know you from old,
Robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold.
American folk music is rich with parables of human nature. This nugget was panned from the song 'The Drunken Hiccups' as performed by The Jenkins, Jarell & Cockerham String Band - compliments of <http://http://www.wolfgangsvault.com target="_new">Wolfgang's Vault</a>.
