paul burch - black lady blues lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
down in louisiana, i gave lady luck a play
fell in the game of hearts and i, barely got away
took my grave with every high card i played
and when i got my fellow loving
i find all the money’s gone away

[verse 2]
she goes by black lady or slippery hand
black mariah, they all make a fool, any man
shoot the moon you might, win or lose the day
seems like there’s one too many jokers
tryna steal my heart away, oh, play it man

[verse 3]
well i, dealt the cards, looked at my hand
some new suit try to upset my plans
talking tricks to my queen, when all i want to do is, hold
mercy, breaking hearts, don’t try a poor boy’s soul

[verse 4]
watch out, follow queen of spades
drew the fat jack, you better look out for all them a’s
down in new orleans i done lost, my hat and home
it’ll be the end of me, when they find there’s no such thing for my note
no bank for my note, play it fat man

[verse 5]
well i played the lady for a one night stand
and watch my money go from hand to hand
she’ll clean your slate and your pockets too
i believe, i’ll go home to texas
and leave these black lady blues

[verse 6]
they say bed spring pokers are, ‘h-ll-est’ game to play
try give hearts and you’ll surely lose the day
fall behind with every, high card you take (high card you take)
and when you’ve got your feeling loving
you find all your money’s away
