Select language to translate this lyric
The wicked king of clubs awoke
to his queen he turned
his lips were laughing as they spoke
his eyes like bullets burned
the sun's upon a gambling day
his queen smiled low and blissfully
let's make some wretched fool to pay
pain it was she did agree
He sent his deuce down into diamond
his trey to heart, and his four to spade
three kings with their legions come
and preparations soon were made
they voted club the days commander
gave him an army face and number
(all but the outlaws, jack of diamonds
and the aces in the sky) X3
He gave his sevens first instruction
spirit me a game of stud
stakes unscarred by limitation
'tween a man named Gold and a man named Mudd
Club filled Gold with greedy vapors
'til his long, green eyes did glow
Mudd was left with the sighs and trembles
watching his hard earned money go
Well flushes fell on Gold like water
tens they paired and paired again
the aces only flew through heaven
the diamond jack called no man friend
the diamond queen heard Mudd's ordeal
and began to think of her long lost sun
(fell to her knees with a mother's mercy
prayed to the angels every one) X2
The diamond queen, she prayed and prayed
and the diamond angel filled Mudd's hole
the wicked king of clubs himself
fell face down in front of gold
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 side
The Club Queen heard her husband's call
Lord the Queen of Diamonds joy
when the outlaw in the heavanly hall
turned out to be a wondering boy
Well Mudd he checked and Gold did call
and Mudd he raised and Gold bet all
and the smile just melted off his face
when Mudd turned over that diamond ace
Well here is what this story told
if you feel like Mudd you gonna end up Gold
if you feel like lost, you gonna end up found
so amigo, lay them raises down
