(Stephen Stills)

spoken:

This is a song about a card game

Black queen, holding hearts

Black queen, tear the game apart

Black queen, don't you know?

Can't beat aces all in a row, black queen, no you
can't

Have mercy black queen

Don't you go mess with the black queen, no

Black queen, see the whole hand

Black queen, where's your black man?

Black queen, if he ain't in the hole

Black queen, you got some more to show me, black
queen

Oh, get on me black queen

Oh, Lord, have mercy, black queen

She's called to beat me clean

Black queen, where's your bank roll?

Black queen, where did it go?

Black queen, the truth is hard

Black queen, you're playin' foolish cards, black
queen
