Since it costs a lot to win and even more to lose

You and me bound to spend some time wond'rin' 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.
