Old School Songs
The King of hearts, he gave me frankincense
The King of clubs, his flask was myrrh
The diamond Queen brought back a purse of gold
That I had wanted from her.
The pack lay crushed and broken in her hand
.... (?)
The King of spades was all that I deserved
And I sat back and and wondered why
And I sat back and and wondered why.
