Paulie Martin - Dead Man's Hand Lyrics

The head of the deck is calling
The Queen of Hearts has fallen
She was killed, her blood was spilled
As red as the sons of Scotland
The King of Hearts is mad
He's never been so sad
He feels the pain, a bit insane
And now his hand is bad

The Ace of Spades was whispering
And three of a kind where listening
Should they dare, they've one to spare
To try for a full house victory
Ace said he's feeling fine
"Yeah, let's give it a try"
Guns where blazing, hearts was racing,
Now I'm ready to die

You raise me and I see you
Put your hands down
Put your hands down
You raise me and I see you
Put your hands down
I think I've won this round

A Two of Diamonds waited
And then he suddenly stated
"Let's stick together, one suit forever
The others are overrated"
The Diamonds felt a chill
Yeah they where ready to kill
All set to flush, no need to rush
They think they're over the hill

You raise me and I see you
Put your hands down
Put your hands down
You raise me and I see you
Put your hands down
I think I've won this round

Wild Bill was breathing deeply
He lost his luck completely
Until at last, a Dead Mans Hand
Black Aces and Eights so neatly
He raised the stakes so high
But Jack and his forty-five
Full of lead, the back of the head
"Are you ready to die?"

You raise me and I see you
Put your hands down
Put your hands down
You raise me and I see you
Put your hands down
Put your hands down
You raise me and I see you
Put your hands down
Put your hands down
You raise me and I see you
Put your hands down
Put your hands down
Put your hands down
I think I've won this round
