Dead Man's Hand

from Don't Let The Bastard Win by Ryan Garrett

/

lyrics

Gambler finished his glass, wiped his forehead
And said "Hit me again, bud"
But the dealer said "Not this table tonight man
We only play five card stud"
And he folded before the table had a chance to check
All in, dueces wild, dealer's wrecked
You've got to play the hand you're dealt
That's the grip of dead man's hand you felt
Gambler sits back down with a stack
And said "Deal me in, slick"
But the dealer said "Not this table tonight man
We're only into card tricks"
And he emptied his sleeve of all his eights and aces
Started pulling rabbits out of questionable places
You've got to play the hand you're dealt
That's the grip of dead man's hand you felt
Keep laying straights til they've gone insane
Royal flush your feelings down the drain
Pay up. Lay down. All in. Cash out.
It's been a pleasure playing with you
But one day you'll lose the bet
You get what you get
Woah- oh -oh
Woah - oh -oh
But you move on to the next table
And you called every bluff
But you couldn't hide behind your poker face enough
Sorry about your luck
