[Verse 1] Memphis gambler Looking to win Facing a farmer Let the game begin [Verse 2] Cards are shuffled The deal begins Their voices are muffled They both drink gin [Chorus] Smoke fills the room Whiskey glasses full The tension balloons Like riding a bull Game lasts for days Nobody will fold Somebody must pay It never gets old [Bridge] Hearts and spades Queens and kings Fortunes are made Grab the golden ring [Verse 3] No run of luck So no clear winner They seem to be stuck And no break for dinner [Verse 4] They call it a draw And go on their way The gamblers big haul Didn't turn out that way [Chorus] [Verse 5] The dudes fine suit Was of no advantage It gained him no loot Disspelled the old adage [Verse 6] Clothes make the man Appearances deceive The best laid plans Not what you believe [Chorus] [Fade to end]
