Since it cost a lot to win
And even more to lose
You and me bound to spend some time
Wondering what to choose

Goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play
And play it slow
Wait until your deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down

I been gambling here abouts
For ten good solid years
If I told you all that went down
It would burn off both your ears

It goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play
And play it slow
Wait until your deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down

Since you poured the wine for me
And tightend up my shoes
I hate to leave you sittin' there
Composin' lonesome blues

It goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play
And play it slow
Wait until your deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down, no
Don't you let your deal go down
