1
When the wicked king of clubs awoke
2
It was to his queen turned
3
His lips were laughing as they spoke
4
His eyes like bullets burned
5
The sun's upon a gambling day
6
Queen smiled low and blissfully
7
Let's make some wretched fool to pay
8
And plain it was she did agree
9
So he send his deuce down into diamond
10
His four to heart and his trey to spade
11
Three kings with their legions come
12
And preparations soon where made
13
They voted club the days commander
14
Gave him an army face and number
15
All of the outlaw, jack of diamonds
16
And the aces in the sky
17
Well, he give his sevens first instructions
18
Spirit me a game of stud
19
Stakes unscarred by limitation
20
'Tween a man named Gold, man named Mud
21
Club filled Gold with greedy vapors
22
'Til his long green eyes did glow
23
And Mud was left with the sighs and trembles
24
Watching his hard earned money go
25
Flushes fell on Gold like water
26
Tens they paired and paired again
27
But the aces only flew through heaven
28
And the diamond jack called no man friend
29
The diamond queen saw Mud's ordeal
30
And began to think of her long lost son
31
Fell to her knees with a mother's mercy
32
And prayed to the angels every one
33
So the diamond queen she prayed and prayed
34
The diamond angel filled Mud's hole
35
The wicked king of clubs himself
36
Fell in face down in front of Gold
37
Now three kings come to clubs command
38
But the angels from the sky did ride
39
Three kings up on the streets of Gold
40
Three fireballs on the muddy side
41
The club queen heard her husband's call
42
But Lord that queen of diamond's joy
43
When the outlaw in the heavenly hall
44
Turned out to be a wandering boy
45
Now Mud checked and Gold bet all
46
And Mud raised and Gold did call
47
And the smile just melted off his face
48
When Mud turned over that diamond ace
49
This is what this story's taught
50
If you feel like Mud you'll end up Gold
51
If you feel like lost you'll end up found
52
So amigo lay them raises down
