Lyrics
Jack of diamonds, queen of spades,
The fingers tremble and mem’ry fades.
And it’s a foolish man who tries to bluff the dealer.
The jokers laughed and Lady Luck smiled
Aces were high and the deuces were wild.
But when you’re down and losing ev’ryone’s a cheater.
You got a little more than you bargained for
Little more than you had in mind
They called your bluff and twenty-one beats nineteen ev’rytime.
And life’s a lot like that my friend,
Your luck runs out and your winning streak ends
And when the deck is stacked you can’t bluff the dealer
Just when things were going right someone jumped you from behind
And when you’re down and losing ev’ryone’s a cheater.
You can’t win and you can’t break even,
And you can’t get out of the game.
You shouldn’t stay but you ain’t leavin’ cause your luck will change again.
But when you’re down and losing ev’ryone’s a cheater.
When you’re down and losing ev’ryone’s a cheater.
