[Intro | banjo] [Verse | crooning | medium energy] A heat haze 'cross a distant land A devil twists the baking sand Weed, it goes a-tumblin' by An eagle soaring, azure sky [Verse | crooning | medium energy] A dead end town, road passes through Blacksmith hammers horses' shoes A barber pulls another tooth A lawman fights for peace and truth [Chorus | driving energy | no dropout] Three threes and a whisky glass The bet is all around Three threes and a whisky glass Cards are being laid down [Chorus | driving energy | no dropout] Three threes and a whisky glass A prial wins the game Three threes and a whisky glass The money's there to claim [Bridge | emotional build-up | energy: building] The swinging sign by the old saloon Tobacco smoke comes drifting out The slam of bottles on the bar Above the sound an angry shout Beyond the doors the air is thick Where a piano man plays a tune A table with some players Now, that would be a boon [Chorus | driving energy | no dropout] Three threes and a whisky glass The bet is all around Three threes and a whisky glass Cards are being laid down [Chorus | driving energy | no dropout] Three threes and a whisky glass A prial wins the game Three threes and a whisky glass The money's there to claim [Bridge | defiant | high energy] In a corner Four men meet Each of them Takes a seat Cigars 'n' whisky Money bags Dealer deals Three card brag [Chorus | driving energy | no dropout] Three threes and a whisky glass The bet is all around Three threes and a whisky glass Cards are being laid down [Chorus | driving energy | no dropout] Three threes and a whisky glass A prial wins the game Three threes and a whisky glass The money's there to claim [Outro | crooning | medium energy] (Deal the cards) Brag's the game Play three threes Make the claim.... Yeah, play three threes Make the claim And win the gaaame [Spoken] Yeah, win the game
