|
Well the wicked king of clubs awoke |
|
And it was to his queen turned |
|
His lips were laughing as they spoke |
|
His eyes like bullets burned |
|
The sun's upon a gambling day |
|
His queen smiled low and blissfully |
|
Let's make some wretched fool to play |
|
Plain it was she did agree |
|
He send his deuce down into diamond |
|
His four to hart, and his trey to spade |
|
Three kings with their legions come |
|
Preparations soon where made |
|
They voted club the days commander |
|
Gave him an army face and number |
|
All but the outlaw jack of diamonds |
|
And the aces in the sky |
|
Well, he gave his sevens first instructions |
|
Spirit me a game of stud |
|
Stakes unscarred by limitation |
|
Between a man named Gold and man named Mud |
|
Club filled Gold with greedy vapors |
|
Till his long, green eyes did glow |
|
And Mudd was left with the sighs and trembles |
|
Watching his hard earned money go |
|
Flushes fell on Gold like water |
|
Tens they paired and paired again |
|
But the aces only flew through heaven |
|
And the diamond jack called no man friend |
|
Now, the Diamond Queen saw Muds ordeal |
|
Began to think of her long lost son |
|
Fell to her knees with a mother's mercy |
|
And prayed to the angels every one |
|
Now, the Diamond Queen, she prayed and prayed |
|
And the Diamond Angel filled Muds hole |
|
The wicked King of Clubs himself |
|
Fell in face down in front of Gold |
|
Now, three kings come to Clubs command |
|
But the angels from the sky did ride |
|
Three kings up on the streets of Gold |
|
Three fireballs on the muddy side |
|
The club queen heard her husband's call |
|
But Lord, that Queen of Diamond's joy |
|
When the outlaw in the heavenly hall |
|
Turned out to be a wandering boy |
|
Now, Mudd he checked and Gold bet all |
|
And Mudd he raised and Gold did call |
|
And the smile just melted on his face |
|
When Mudd turned over that diamond ace |
|
Now, here's what this story's told |
|
If you feel like Mudd you'll end up Gold |
|
If you feel like lost, you'll end up found |
|
So amigo, lay them raises down |
