Since it costs a lot to win, and even more to lose,
You and me bound to spend some time wondrin 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 gamblin hereabouts for ten good solid years,
If I told you 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, composin 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
