Lyrics
Don’t play cards with Satan
He’ll deal you an awful hand
Don’t play cards with Satan
He’ll deal you an awful hand
Did I ever stop and tell you I am a desperate man?
I thought I saw a bluebird sitting on a post
Shiver down my spine
I thought it was the Holy Ghost
I heard the word before
And I knew that it was good
Somebody oughta do like the Good Book should
I heard the voice of Satan crying in the woods
I saw my own heart laying black with blood
Don’t play cards with Satan
He’ll deal you an awful hand
Please believe me
Did I ever stop and tell you I am a desperate man?
A desperate man
Take it
Satan!
