Hank Snow - Queen of Draw Poker Town lyrics

Her eyes looked at mine with a cold vacant stare I'd still like to know what I saw in her there She wasn't outstandin', her features were small And personality wise she had nothing at all But two people that night, me and God above Knew this was the woman that I'd always love For who can explain what goes on in your heart That can cause a woman to tear you apart In a swa*k poker club where it's legal to play And the s**ers and booze turn the night into day There I led with my heart when the big chips were down And I lost to the Queen of Draw Poker Town I was soon to find out why they gave her that name She was hooked on the cards and lived for the game I thought she might change but it's now plain to see The deck had been stacked and the joker was me My bills are unpaid and the rent money's gone The bread box is empty and our clothes are in pawn And night after night you'll find me alone Just walkin' the floor until she gets home Day after day I keep tellin' myself let her go break away Let the s**ers and booze turn the night into day But speakin' of fools you can hand me the crown For I still love the Queen of Draw Poker Town Now here is a woman who lives without shame A sick mind a slave to the draw poker game Day and night there she sits with her coveted chips And the cigarette smoke billows out from her lips A pitiful site from her head to her feet I know she would rather play poker than eat But I also know well but I can't tell you why I'll live just for her until the day that I die The landlord can wait I'll run I'll hide Who cares if the bread box is empty inside I'll stay at home alone I'll go without shoes I've got nothin' to gain but no more to lose Till the day she plays her last hand her last card is drawn Till I've sold my last shirt and my last buck is gone I'll be King ofthe Fools and I'll never sit down For I worship the Queen of Draw Poker Town
