John Mellencamp — Diamond Joe

Diamond Joe, come get me Diamond Joe, come and get me When 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 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 And sometimes the dog will stay at home But 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 Everytime that you see me cry 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
