Robert Earl Keen - Mr. Mudd & Gold Lyrics
Now 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
His queen smiled low and blissfully
Let's make some wretched fool to pay
It's plain it was, they did agree
Send his deuce down into diamond
Four to hart, trey to spade
Three kings with their legions come
And preparations soon where made
They voted club, the days commander
All but the outlaw jack of diamonds
And the aces in the sky
Well, they give his sevens first instructions
Spirit me a game of stud
Stakes unscarred by limitation
'Tween a man named Gold and a man named Mudd
Club filled Gold with greedy vapors
'Til his long, green eyes did glow
And Mudd was left with the sighs and trembles
Watching his hard earned money go
Flushes fell on Gold like water
Tens they paired and paired again
But the aces only flew through heaven
And the diamond jack called no man's friend
Now the diamond queen saw Mudd's ordeal
Began to think of her long lost son
Fell to her knees with a mother's mercy
And prayed to the angels every one
The diamond queen, she prayed and prayed
The diamond angel filled Mudd's hole
And the wicked king of clubs himself
Fell face down in front of Gold
Now three kings come to clubs command
But the angels from the sky did ride
Three kings up on the streets of gold
Three fireballs on the muddy side
And the club queen heard her husband's call
But Lord, that queen of diamond's joy
When the outlaw in the heavenly hall
Turned out to be a wandering boy
Now Mudd he checked and Gold bet all
Mudd he raised and Gold did call
But the smile just melted on his face
When Mudd turned over that diamond ace
And here's what this story's told
If you feel like Mudd you'll end up Gold
If you feel like lost, you'll end up found
So amigo, lay them raises down
