Don't you let that deal go down, no, no.

 

2. I been gamblin' hereabouts

For ten good solid years,

If I told you 'bout 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.

 

3. 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.
