Dallas Burrow - Mr. Mudd and Mr. Gold Lyrics

The wicked king of clubs awoke
It was to his queen he turned
His lips were laughing as they spoke
His eyes like bullets burned

The sun's upon a gambling day
His queen smiled low and blissfully
Lets make some wretched fool to pay
And plain it was she did agree

He sent his deuce down in to diamond
His four to heart, his trey to spade
Three kings with their legions come
And preparations soon were made

They voted club the day's commander
Give him an army, face and number
All but the outlaw jack of diamond
And the aces in the skies

He gave his sevens first instructions
Said, spirit me a game of stud
Stakes unscarred by limitations
Tween a man named Gold and a man named Mudd

Club filled Gold with greedy vapors
Until his long green eyes did glow
Mudd was left with sighs and trembles
Watching his hard earned money go

Flushes fell on Gold like water
Tens they paired and they paired again
The aces only flew through heaven
And the diamond jack called no man friend

The diamond queen heard of Mudd's ordeal
Began to think of her long lost son
Fell to her knees with a mother's mercy
Prayed to the angels, every one

Well the diamond queen she prayed and prayed
And the diamond angel filled Mudd's hole
Til the wicked king of clubs himself
Fell face down in front of Gold

Well three kings come to Club's command
But the angels from the sky did ride
Three kings upon the streets of Gold
Three fireballs on the Muddy side

Club queen heard her husband's call
But Lord, the queen of diamond's joy
When the outlaw in the heavenly hall
Turned out to be her wanderin' boy

Well Mudd he checked and Gold bet all
Mudd he raised and Gold did call
And that smile just melted off his face
When Mudd turned over that diamond ace

Well here's what this story's told
You feel like Mudd, you'll end up Gold
You feel like lost you'll end up found
So amigo lay them raises down
