Steve Earle - Mr. Mudd and Mr. Gold |
| [00:02.17] |
|
| [00:09.46] |
Well the wicked king of clubs awoke |
| [00:12.04] |
And it was to his queen turned |
| [00:13.91] |
His lips were laughing as they spoke |
| [00:16.35] |
His eyes like bullets burned |
| [00:18.11] |
|
| [00:18.45] |
The sun's upon a gambling day |
| [00:20.22] |
His queen smiled low and blissfully |
| [00:22.22] |
Let's make some wretched fool to play |
| [00:24.05] |
Plain it was she did agree |
| [00:26.22] |
|
| [00:26.57] |
He send his deuce down into diamond |
| [00:28.84] |
His four to hart, and his trey to spade |
| [00:31.34] |
Three kings with their legions come |
| [00:33.32] |
Preparations soon where made |
| [00:35.22] |
|
| [00:35.52] |
They voted club the days commander |
| [00:37.83] |
Gave him an army face and number |
| [00:39.99] |
All but the outlaw jack of diamonds |
| [00:41.71] |
And the aces in the sky |
| [00:43.74] |
|
| [00:52.43] |
Well, he gave his sevens first instructions |
| [00:54.52] |
Spirit me a game of stud |
| [00:56.68] |
Stakes unscarred by limitation |
| [00:58.62] |
Between a man named Gold and man named Mud |
| [01:00.91] |
|
| [01:01.16] |
Club filled Gold with greedy vapors |
| [01:03.00] |
Till his long, green eyes did glow |
| [01:05.14] |
And Mudd was left with the sighs and trembles |
| [01:07.74] |
Watching his hard earned money go |
| [01:09.47] |
|
| [01:10.05] |
Flushes fell on Gold like water |
| [01:11.84] |
Tens they paired and paired again |
| [01:13.90] |
But the aces only flew through heaven |
| [01:16.02] |
And the diamond jack called no man friend |
| [01:17.99] |
|
| [01:18.47] |
Now, the Diamond Queen saw Muds ordeal |
| [01:20.90] |
Began to think of her long lost son |
| [01:22.97] |
Fell to her knees with a mother's mercy |
| [01:24.94] |
And prayed to the angels every one |
| [01:26.89] |
|
| [01:27.12] |
Now, the Diamond Queen, she prayed and prayed |
| [01:29.37] |
And the Diamond Angel filled Muds hole |
| [01:31.29] |
The wicked King of Clubs himself |
| [01:33.58] |
Fell in face down in front of Gold |
| [01:35.37] |
|
| [01:35.77] |
Now, three kings come to Clubs command |
| [01:37.84] |
But the angels from the sky did ride |
| [01:40.34] |
Three kings up on the streets of Gold |
| [01:42.10] |
Three fireballs on the muddy side |
| [01:44.21] |
|
| [01:44.50] |
The club queen heard her husband's call |
| [01:46.60] |
But Lord, that Queen of Diamond's joy |
| [01:48.74] |
When the outlaw in the heavenly hall |
| [01:50.86] |
Turned out to be a wandering boy |
| [01:52.81] |
|
| [01:53.06] |
Now, Mudd he checked and Gold bet all |
| [01:55.43] |
And Mudd he raised and Gold did call |
| [01:57.16] |
And the smile just melted on his face |
| [01:59.53] |
When Mudd turned over that diamond ace |
| [02:01.37] |
|
| [02:01.77] |
Now, here's what this story's told |
| [02:03.66] |
If you feel like Mudd you'll end up Gold |
| [02:06.09] |
If you feel like lost, you'll end up found |
| [02:08.08] |
So amigo, lay them raises down |
| [02:11.73] |
