Well the wicked king of clubs awoke And it was to his queen turned His lips were laughing as they spoke His eyes like bullets burnedThe sun's upon a gambling day His queen smiled low and blissfully Let's make some wretched fool to pay Plain it was she did agreeHe send his deuce down into diamond His four to heart, and his trey to spade Three kings with their legions come Preparations soon where madeThey voted club the days commander Gave him an army face and number All but the outlaw jack of diamonds And the aces in the skyWell, he gave his sevens first instructions Spirit me a game of stud Stakes unscarred by limitation Between a man named Gold and man named MudClub filled Gold with greedy vapors Till his long, green eyes did glow And Mud was left with the sighs and trembles Watching his hard earned money goFlushes fell on Gold like water Tens they paired and paired again But the aces only flew through heaven And the diamond jack called no man friendNow, the Diamond Queen saw Muds ordeal Began to think of her long lost son Fell to her knees with a mother's mercy And prayed to the angels every oneNow, the Diamond Queen, she prayed and prayed And the Diamond Angel filled Muds hole The wicked King of Clubs himself Fell in face down in front of GoldNow, three kings come to Clubs command But the angels from the sky did ride Three kings up on the streets of Gold Three fireballs on the muddy sideThe club queen heard her husband's call But Lord, that Queen of Diamond's joy When the outlaw in the heavenly hall Turned out to be a wandering boyNow, Mud he checked and Gold bet all And Mud he raised and Gold did call And the smile just melted on his face When Mud turned over that diamond aceNow, here's what this story's told If you feel like Mud you'll end up Gold If you feel like lost, you'll end up found So amigo, lay them raises down
