Capo 2
[Verse 1]
Well, the Amwicked King of Clubs awoke
And Cit was to his Queen he turned
His Dmlips were laughing as they spoke
EHis eyes like bullets burned
The Amsun's upon a gambling day
His CQueen smiled low and blissfully
Let's Dmmake some wretched fool to pay
EPlain it was she did agree
[Verse 2]
He Amsent his Deuce down into Diamond
His CFour to Heart and his Trey to Spade
DmThree Kings with their legions come
EPreparations soon were made
They Amvoted Club the day's commander
CGave him an army, face and number
All Dmbut the outlaw Jack of Diamonds
EAnd the Aces in the sky
[Verse 3]
Well, he Amgave his Sevens first instructions
CSpirit me a game of stud
DmStakes unscarred by limitation
Between a Eman named Gold and a man named Mudd
AmClub filled Gold with greedy vapours
CTill his long green eyes did glow
And DmMudd was left with sighs and trembles
EWatching his hard earned money go
[Verse 4]
AmFlushes fell on Gold like water
CTens they paired and paired again
But the DmAces only flew through heaven
And the EDiamond Jack called no man friend
Now the AmDiamond Queen saw Mudd's ordeal
CBegan to think of her long lost son
DmFell to her knees with a mother's mercy
And Eprayed to the angels every one
[Verse 5]
Now the AmDiamond Queen she prayed and prayed
And the CDiamond Angel filled Mudd's hole
DmThe wicked King of Clubs himself
EFell face down in front of Gold
Now Amthree Kings come to Club's command
But the Cangels in the sky did ride
DmThree Kings up on the streets of Gold
EThree fireballs on the Muddy side
[Verse 6]
The AmClub Queen heard her husband's call
But CLord, that Queen of Diamond's joy
When the Dmoutlaw in the heavenly hall
ETurned out to be a wandering boy
Now AmMudd he checked and Gold bet all
And CMudd he raised and Gold did call
And the Dmsmile just melted off his face
When EMudd turned over that Diamond Ace
[Verse 7]
AmNow here's what the story's told
If you Cfeel like Mudd you'll end up Gold
If you Dmfeel like lost you'll end up found
So Eamigo, lay them raises down

Capo 2

[Verse 1]

Well, the wicked King of Clubs awoke

And it was to his Queen he turned

His lips were laughing as they spoke

His eyes like bullets burned

The sun's upon a gambling day

His Queen smiled low and blissfully

Let's make some wretched fool to pay

Plain it was she did agree

[Verse 2]

He sent his Deuce down into Diamond

His Four to Heart and his Trey to Spade

Three Kings with their legions come

Preparations soon were made

They voted Club the day's commander

Gave him an army, face and number

All but the outlaw Jack of Diamonds

And the Aces in the sky

[Verse 3]

Well, he gave his Sevens first instructions

Spirit me a game of stud

Stakes unscarred by limitation

Between a man named Gold and a man named Mudd

Club filled Gold with greedy vapours

Till his long green eyes did glow

And Mudd was left with sighs and trembles

Watching his hard earned money go

[Verse 4]

Flushes fell on Gold like water

Tens they paired and paired again

But the Aces only flew through heaven

And the Diamond Jack called no man friend

Now the Diamond Queen saw Mudd's ordeal

Began to think of her long lost son

Fell to her knees with a mother's mercy

And prayed to the angels every one

[Verse 5]

Now the Diamond Queen she prayed and prayed

And the Diamond Angel filled Mudd's hole

The wicked King of Clubs himself

Fell face down in front of Gold

Now three Kings come to Club's command

But the angels in the sky did ride

Three Kings up on the streets of Gold

Three fireballs on the Muddy side

[Verse 6]

The Club Queen heard her husband's call

But Lord, that Queen of Diamond's joy

When the outlaw in the heavenly hall

Turned out to be a wandering boy

Now Mudd he checked and Gold bet all

And Mudd he raised and Gold did call

And the smile just melted off his face

When Mudd turned over that Diamond Ace

[Verse 7]

Now here's what the story's told

If you feel like Mudd you'll end up Gold

If you feel like lost you'll end up found

So amigo, lay them raises down
