Well life is a gamble and the days they're just so many decks

Oh the hours are cards they deal and you play what you get

Oh you think of the the time that you knew you could call so you raised

Oh you think of the the time that you got out when you should have stayed

Deal hey may be the next card's an Ace

Deal you ought to go home but you know that a Flush beats a Straight

Oh you can't have a Full House the Queen has been dealt to a friend

Oh the good thing about life is they shuffle and they deal life again



Well the cards are all stacked when you're hot and the women are too

Oh it's a hard cut to take when you raised every hand but you do

Well I'm not complainin' it ain't like a Joker to cry

Oh it won't do to cheat cause you have to cash in when you die

So deal hey may be the next card's an Ace...
