I thought she was my woman.
We sat down at the card table.
The hand was dealt.
The joker was wild.
The stakes were high.
The tension was so thick,
you could slice it with a knife.
I had the eights and aces
but I never knew that when I grabbed that pot,
I would be shot down to the ground.
I thought she loved me
She looked at me with eyes of fury
and ran off with the man
who held the Jack of Spades.
