Queen Of Draw Poker Town Lyrics - Hank Snow

Recorded by Hank Snow 

HER EYES LOOKED AT MINE WITH A COLD VACANT STARE 

I'D STILL LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I SAW IN HER THERE 

SHE WAS'ANT OUTSTANDING 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 SWANK POKER CLUB WHERE IT'S LEGAL TO PLAY 

AND THE SUCKERS 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 WALKING THE FLOOR UNTIL SHE GETS HOME 

DAY AFTER DAY I KEEP TELLIN MYSELF LET HER GO BREAK AWAY 

LET THE SUCKERS 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 SIT 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 CANT TELL YOU WHY 

I'LL LIVE JUST FOR HER UNTIL THE DAY THAT I DIE 

THE LANDLORD CAN WAIT I'LL RUN AND I'LL HIDE 

WHO CARES IF THE BREAD BOX IS EMPTY INSIDE 

I'LL STAY HOME ALONE I'LL GO WITHOUT SHOES 

I'VE GOT NOTHING 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 OF THE FOOLS AND I'LL NEVER SIT DOWN 

FOR I WORSHIP THE QUEEN OF DRAW POKER TOWN
