Lyrics John Mellencamp – Diamond Joe

Diamond Joe come get me
Diamond Joe come get me
Diamond Joe where you find me
Diamond Joe

Well I got up this morning before the rising sun
I thought I heard him call my name, but I saw no one
There’s some up in those buildings and some out on the farm
Some have gone to the graveyard and some are heading home

Diamond Joe, come and get me
Diamond Joe, come and get me
Diamond Joe, come and get me, Diamond Joe

The minutes feel like hours, the hours feel like days
Sometimes the dog will stay at home, 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

Diamond Joe, come and get me
Diamond Joe, come and get me
Diamond Joe, come and get me, Diamond Joe

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 crying, that’s my train fare home

Diamond Joe, come and get me
Diamond Joe, come and get me
Diamond Joe, come and get me, Diamond Joe

Diamond Joe, come and get me
Diamond Joe, come and get me
Diamond Joe, yeah come and get me, Diamond Joe
