Deal
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.
Since it cost a lot to win
And even more to lose
You and me are bound to spend some time
Wondering what to choose
Goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play and play it slow
Wait until your deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down
I been gambling hereabouts
For ten good solid years
If I told you all that went down
It would burn off both your ears
It goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play and play it slow
Wait until your deal comes round
Don't you let that deal go down
Since you poured the wine for me
And tightened up my shoes
I hate to leave you sitting there
Composin' lonesome blues
It goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play and play it slow
Wait until your deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down, no
Don't you let that deal go down
