The Cincinnati Kid Lyrics - Ray Charles

He came witht the name Cincinnati 

A kid with no ace in the hole 

On a hot poker pot, Cincinnati 

Had staked his heart and soul 

He played night and day like a demon 

And prayed for that one lucky day 

When the lush royal flush of his dreaming 

Is just a game away 

Beyond all the green felt shadows 

His own queen of hearts will wait 

But till he's king of the green felt shadows 

She'll wait, and wait, and wait

For sure as the cards will be falling 

And chips in the pot, he'll remain 

For the book Lady Luck will be calling 

Whoah, the Cincinnati kid 

I mean the Cincinnati kid 

Whoah, the Cincinnati kid 

Whoah, the Cincinnati kid 

I'm talking about the Cincinnati kid 

Everybody knows the Cincinnati kid 

Have you heard about the, the Cincinnati kid
