A whisky bottle, sets upon the table Surrounded by the pounding, of a nervous heart A dealer dealing, good fate or misfortune Will have you sweating bullets for the right cards (Naaa Na, Na Na Na Na Naa Na, Na Na Naa Na Naaaa) The unexpected, fear will come to haunt you Like a breath of darkness, riding in the wind And it will drag you, to the bowels of evil Pray that wild bills curse, doesn't ride again The deadman's hand, the deadman's fate Hold them once and you may never escape The deadman's hand, the deadman's fate Everybody fears, the aces and eights A loaded gun hiding, underneath the table Ready for the trigger in case you might go down You'll either come out standing like a winner Or lyin' in a pine box six feet underground The deadman's hand, the deadman's fate Hold them once and you may never escape The deadman's hand, the deadman's fate Everybody fears, the aces and eights (Guitar Solo) (Naaa Na, Na Na Na Na Naa Na, Na Na Naa Na Naaaa) (Naaa Na, Na Na Na Na Naa Na, Na Na Naa Na Naaaa) The deadman's hand, the deadman's fate Hold them once and you may never escape The deadman's hand, the deadman's fate Everybody fears, the aces and eights With a deadmans hand (Naaa Na, Na Na Na Na Naa Na, Na Na Naa Na Naaaa) The deadmans hand (Naaa Na, Na Na Na Na Naa Na, Na Na Naa Na Naaaa) With the deadmans hand (Naaa Na, Na Na Na Na Naa Na, Na Na Naa Na Naaaa) The deadmans Hand (Naaa Na, Na Na Na Na Naa Na, Na Na Naa Na Naaaa) You wanna put that last card down, boy?
