Since it costs a lot to win,

And even more to lose.

You and me bound to spend some time, Wonderin' what to choose.

Goes to show, you don't ever know.

Watch each card you play, and play it slow.

Wait until that deal come 'round.

Don't you let that deal go down, no, no.

I been gamblin hereabouts,

For ten good solid years.

If I told you all that went down,

It would burn off both of your ears.

Goes to show, you don't ever know.

Watch each card you play, and play it slow.

Wait until that deal come 'round.

Don't you let that deal go down, no, no.

Since you poured the wine for me,

And tightened up my shoes.

I hate to leave you sittin there,

Composin’ lonesome blues.

Goes to show, you don't ever know.

Watch each card you play, and play it slow.

Wait until that deal come 'round.

Don't you let that deal go down.

Wait until that deal come 'round.

Don't you let that deal go down.

Wait until that deal come 'round.

Don't you let that deal go down.

Don't you let that deal go down.

Don't you let that deal go down, no, no.
