Shuffle with the devil

from Death n' Blues - vol​.​1 by The Graveyard Ensemble

/

lyrics

Yeah, shuffle with the devil… Yeah, shuffle with the devil…

Play your four eleven, then pack your bags and go
I lost all my money, with four eleven and forty-four
Play your four eighteen, I’m sure you got it fixed
You took all my money, with four eighteen and fifty-six

Yeah, shuffle with the devil - Can’t lose my money roll
Yeah, shuffle with the devil - Now I lost my happy home

Play your three sixteen, go buy a Gatling gun
I lost all my money, with three sixteen and sixty-one
Play your three fifteen, I might have lost my mind
You took all my money, with three fifteen and fifty-nine

Yeah, shuffle with the devil - Can’t lose my money roll
Yeah, shuffle with the devil - Now I lost my happy home

Gambling ain’t just luck
It´s timing and some skill
Some gamble for the fun
Some gamble for the thrill

To define what it means
To risk what you’ve earned
Throughout all your thoughts
And everything you learned

Began to play some poker and lost my every cent
Now I can’t pay my mortgage… I’m living in a tent
To win it back I chose to double down at the track
The first horse I bet on fell and broke his back
I picked a dog in the fifth race because I liked is name
It was the best I’ve heard “I’m sorry that you came”
The odds were slim but what the hell I was gambling just for fun
I won’t tell you how he did it, my bloody dog had won!

Shuffle with the devil
Shuffle with the devil

For his new gang, he enrolled two long time partners in crime - Tony the Gun and Claude the Duke and, to complete the set up, Old Boy Kim was dragged out of his pre-retirement.
