This river is a line between us + them God made it to divide, who can argue with him? He put you on a side with your only friends But the river will wind + the river will bend Cut the stingson your marionette Step aside if you ain't gonna bet Jacks are wild and we ain't in a rush You know that five of a kind will always beat a straight flush The devil is alive – he looks like hell But you know what they say, oh well oh well oh well He put you on a side with your only friends But the river will wind + the river will bend Stop steppin' on my side, stay stepping on your side I'm steppin on tall pines, you steppin on apple orchards I got my side you got your side now Cut the stringson your marionette step aside if you ain't gonna bet Jacks are wild and we ain't in a rush You know that five of a kind will always beat a straight flush
