Oh Mollie oh Mollie for your sake alone
That I leave my old parents,my house and my home
My love for you.It has caused me to roam
I'm rabble rouser and Dixie's my home
Jack O'diamonds Jack O' diamonds,I know you of old
You rob my poor pocket ,of silver and gold
Oh whiskey,you villian,you've been my downfall
You've kicked me you've cuffed me,and cause me to brawl
My foot's on stirrup,my bridle's in my hand
I'm leaveing sweet Mollie,the fairest in the land
Her parents don't like me,they say I'm too poor
They say I'm unworthy to enther her door
They say I drink whiskey, my money's my own
And them don't like me, can leave me alone
I'll eat when I'm hungry,I'll drink when I'm dry
And when I get thirsty ,I'll lay down and cry
It's beefsteak when I'm hungry, and whisky when I'm dry
Green backs when I'm hard up,and hell when I die!
Rye whiskey rye whiskey rye whiskey I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey,I surely will die
Oh baby oh baby I've told you befor,Do make me a pallet,I'll lie on the floor
I've rambled and trampled this wild world round
Raisin'hell with the gang,that's where I'm bound
It's with these gunslingers,dear mollie,I'll roam
I'm rabble rouser and Dixie's my home
If ocean were whiskey,and I were a duck
I'd dive to the bottom and get one sweet sup
But the ocean ain't whiskey and I ain't no duck
So I 'll play Jack o'diamonds and then we'll get drunk
Oh baby oh baby I've told you befor,Do make me a pallet,I'll lie on the floor
