Bm D Em F# (...just repeat these chords over and over) The wicked king of clubs awoke It was to his queen he turned His lips were laughing as they spoke His eyes like bullets burned The sun's upon a gambling day His queen smiled low and blissfully Let's make some wretched fool pay It was plain she did agree He sent his deuce down into diamond Four to heart and trey to spade Three kings with their legions come And preparations soon were made They voted club the day's commander Gave him an army face and number All but the outlaw jack of diamonds And the aces in the sky So he gave his seven first instructions Spirit me a game of stud Stakes unscarred by limitations 'tween a man named Gold and a man named Mudd Club filled bold with greedy vapors Till his long green eyes did glow Mudd was left with the sighs and trembles Watching his hard earned money go Flushes fell on Gold like water Tens they paired and paired again But the aces only flew through heaven The diamond jack called no man friend The diamond queen saw Mudd's ordeal Began to think of her long lost son Fell to her knees with a mother's mercy And prayed to the angels every one Now the diamond queen she prayed and prayed The diamond angel filled Mudd's hole The wicked king of clubs himself Fell face down in front of Gold Three kings come to club's command The angels from the sky did ride Three kings up on the streets of Gold Three fireballs on the muddy side The club queen heard her husbands call But that queen of the diamond's joy When the outlaw in the heavenly hall Turned out to be her wandering boy Mudd he checked and Gold bet all Mudd he raised and Gold did call The smile just melted off his face When Mudd turned over that diamond ace Here is what this story's told You feel like Mudd you'll end up Gold You feel like lost you'll end up found So amigo lay those raises down
