Deal Songtext

von Dr. John

One, two
One, two, three

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, play it slow
Wait until that deal comes 'round
Don't you let that deal go down, no no no

I been gambling here about
For ten good solid years
If I told you all that went down
It'd burn off both of your ears

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

Since you poured that wine for me
Tightened up my shoes
I hate to leave you down here, sitting there
Singing them old lonesome blues

Goes to show, you don't ever know
Watch each card you play, and play it slow
And wait until that deal come 'round
Don't let the deal go down, oh no

Don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come around
Don't you let that deal go down
You better not let that deal come around
Don't let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come around
Don't let that deal go down, down, down
