yes the raven - the liar lyrics

[verse 1]
got time for a tale of woe
tell you about someone that i used to know
at least i thought i did
called himself two+gun ted

[verse 2]
met him down natchez trace
said he was looking for a place to go
keep his head down low
never asked him what he’d done or his name
but he was quick to confide that was part of his game
reading your cards, playing hearts

[verse 3]
old jim put him up for a dollar a night
he said he’d work it off and he was good in a fight
then he turned and coughed
for a week he appeared useful
but jim had a bar and two wh0res
and the truth was jim was more usеful to him
everybody saw it but jim
his kindness kinda blinded him

[chorus]
hе was just playing hearts
well it was his finest art
but he’d show you his hand sometimes
playing with a deck of lies
getting you to sympathize with his tune
while he shoots the moon
[verse 4]
but when some liquor went missing
well he blamed the wh0re he was kissin’ for free
he even turned on me
stuck a dagger in her heart
now that she’d played her part
and was no use no more
she was just a wh0re
well she was my queen

[chorus]
he was just playing hearts
well it was his finest art
but he’d show you his hand sometimes
playing with a deck of lies
getting you to sympathize with his tune
while he shoots the moon

[verse 5]
and now little josie’s dead
and old jim’s got an empty teller
and a heart full of lead
last words he said
as he lay there and bled
were “two+tongue ted”
