lyrics

Tradional (arranged by Ian Egenberger)
Chorus
Baby let the deal go down
Baby let the deal go down
Baby let the deal go down
'Til that last eagle has flown

I've gambled round Kansas city
Made it down to Memphis Tennessee
Anywhere that I hang my hat
Feels like home sweet home to me

I've played my cards up in Deadwood
Been dealt a dead mans hand
Pray to god you won't call my bluffh
And I'll raise you another hundred grand
Chorus

I've rambled round this whole wide world
Cross the river to Council Bluffs
I've lost all I had, again and again
Lord, I just can't get enough

I left my true love cryin'
Left her waiting at the door
She threw her arms around me and she said
Honey don't you leave no more
Chorus

Who's gonna shoe your pretty little feet
Who's gonna glove your hand
Who's gonna kiss your ruby red lips
Who's gonna be your man

Well papa can shoe my pretty little feet
Mama, she can glove my hand
No one will kiss my ruby red lips
I don't need no low down dirty man
Chorus
