I'll be the Queen of your heart, Dear |
|
You'll be the King of my love |
|
I'll deal through that whole deck to find you |
|
And You'll wait for my time to come |
|
I've lived a lone life dear without you |
|
I played a lone hand all the way |
|
I ached when I lost, I pretended to laugh |
|
But I felt more like crying these days |
|
Since you come and stood there beside me |
|
And told me my best way to play |
|
Your hand touched mine and the sunshine did shine |
|
And we left that whole card house next day |
|
I'll be the Queen of your heart, Dear |
|
You'll be the King of my love |
|
I'll deal through that whole deck to find you |
|
And You'll wait for my time to come |
|
Rough Jack didn't like you to help me |
|
He would kill you if you left with me |
|
Jack's two forty fours drilled round that door |
|
As we backed hand in hand to the street |
|
Jack turned his last slug on his own self |
|
Pitched down on the sawdusty floor |
|
That's why you're the King of my love now |
|
That's why I trust cards nevermore |
|
I'll be the Queen of your heart, Dear |
|
You'll be the King of my love |
|
I'll deal through that whole deck to find you |
|
And You'll wait for my time to come |
|
I tossed off my cardhouse costumery |
|
I slipped on my sweet cotton dress |
|
You're king of our house here my darling |
|
No turn of a cardhand can wreck |
|
You're king of my big sunny smile now |
|
You're king of my red rosy cheeks |
|
I'm queen of this cradle that rocks here |
|
No joker can steal me away |
|
I'll be the Queen of your heart, Dear |
|
You'll be the King of my love |
|
I'll deal through that whole deck to find you |
|
And You'll wait for my time to come |
