[Verse 1]
Since it cost a lot to win
And even more to lose
You and me bound to spend some time
Wonderin' which to choose
[Pre-Chorus]
It goes to show that you don't ever know
Watch each card you play and
Play it slow
[Chorus]
Wait until your deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down
[Verse 2]
Well, I've been gamblin' hereabouts
For ten good solid years
If I told you all that went down
It would burn off both your ears
[Pre-Chorus]
It goes to show that you don't ever know
Watch each card you play and
Play it slow
[Chorus]
Wait until your deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Since you poured the wine for me
And tightened up my shoes
Hate to leave you sitting there
Composing lonesome blues
[Pre-Chorus]
It goes to show that you don't ever know
Watch each card you play and, please
Play it slow
[Chorus]
Wait until that deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down, oh
[Bridge]
Cause it costs a lot to win
And even more to lose
You and me bound to spend some time
Wonderin' what to choose
[Pre-Chorus]
It goes to show that you don't ever know
Watch each card you play and, please
Play it slow
[Chorus]
Wait until that deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down
[Outro]
Don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down, oh
