The Dealer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
1st verse
Jack of diamonds, queen of spades
Fingers tremble and the memory fades
And it's a foolish man, who tries to bluff the dealer
Jokers laughed and lady luck smiled
The aces were high and the deuces were wild
When you're down and losin', everyone's a cheater
Chorus
You can't win and you can't break even
You can't get out of the game
You shouldn't stay but you ain't leavin'
'Cos your luck may change again
2nd verse
Just when things were going fine
Someone jumped you from behind
When you're down and losin', everyone's a cheater
Chorus
3rd verse
Jack of diamonds, queen of spades
Fingers tremble and the memory fades
When you're down and losin', everyone's a cheater
Well, the jokers laughed and lady luck smiled
The aces were high and the deuces were wild
And it's a foolish man, who tries to bluff the dealer
Repeat
