Since it costs a lot to win

And even more to lose

You and me bound to spend some time

Wondering 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 gambling hereabouts

For ten good solid years

If I told you now 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

Composing 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

Oh, no
