about

From "Songs of Love, Despair and Regret," released August 29, 2016. Loosely based on the American folk song, "Rye Whiskey."

lyrics

Jack o’ diamonds, I remember you of old
Robbing me of my silver and my gold
Never having been an object of trust
I have to say you look good
Lying there in the dust

I remember it was fun, though the details escape me
Easy to mistake drunkenness for comedy
Memories are pleasant company
Once you rewrite the script

Jack o’ diamonds, you ain’t no queen of hearts
When you arrive is when the trouble starts
Got no time for your regrets
But I find you ain’t easy to forget

Sometimes you say something and you wish you could take it back
Other times you say it’s white when it’s black
Cock sure of your righteousness
You think you know it all, but
In the end
You don’t know jack.
