Jack of Diamonds

It's plain to see the law is crooked
But breaking it don't make you straight.
You could have been a rogue policeman
Your every move is fed on hate.

Oh, you Jack of Diamonds, Oh you Jack of Spades,
If I'd have seen both your faces,
I'd have kept out of your way.

Most men hit out when something hurts them,
But how could you find it in your heart,
To leave her laying there in the gutter,
After you'ld held her in you arms.

Oh, you Jack of Diamonds, Oh you Jack of Spades,
If I'd have seen both your faces,
I'd have kept out of your way.

Oh, you Jack of Diamonds, Oh, you Jack of Spades,
If you'ld have showed me both your faces,
I'd have turned and walked away.

(words: Phil Motherwell, music: Joe Dolce)
