Queen O' Spades Lyrics

Burden Brothers Queen O' Spades

I try to be a good man, Lord I know I should
I'd walk upright and sleep at night if only I could
If I only could

I work hard for that money, my debts should have been paid
If it weren't for that devil card I know I'd have it made
I know I'd have it made

Damn that old queen of spades (3x)
She done beat me again (4x)

My game is always on the run, a home I will not find
It don't matter where I run, she's always right behind
You're always right behind

I try to be a good man, Lord I know I should
I'd walk upright and sleep at night if I only could
If I only could

Damn that old queen of spades (3x)
She done beat me again (4x)

Damn that old queen of spades, she's got ice in her veins
She don't want your money, man, she'll take your soul in chains
She'll take your soul in chains

I tried to be a good man when I was a boy
That devil bitch done come along, and now I'm just her toy
Now I'm just her toy

Damn that old queen of spades (3x)
She done beat me again (4x)
