I knew when you walked in the room That something was different about your stride Oh a gambling man you always were But those ole snake eyes they won Bets are off Can you deal with Your hands That I once held in mine Now I don't wanna touch them For fear I'll bleed In this sport there's a crook and a thief And you've become both More How'd they do what they done to you The pride that you stole The man made less whole And you were the one who Was cryin Well I followed you out on the deck At least if you felt just a little sick But a one eyed jack easily winks Oh, and your poor little me card Will never bring you back From where you have buried your soul And I'm not gonna find it It's deep in red You have tried to pretend you're the same But I've called your bluff
More How'd they do what they done to you The pride that you stole The man made less whole And you were the one who Was cryin For more How'd they do what they done to you The shame that he felt Was a notch on your belt And you were the one you Was cryin Cryin Crownless Sits a king with his head Upon his very own lap it rests Shuffling till his knees hit the floor Oh God there must be More How'd they do what they done to you The pride that you stole The man made less whole And you were the one who was cryin For more How'd they do what they done to you The shame that he felt Was a notch on your belt And you were the one who was cryin Well oh don't you cry The game must go on You can never fold And you'll be one who's left Cryin
