Card sharp


Sitting just watching the river flow
Wondering about you and where we might go
Full moon climbing, Devil's on the rise
Marie Laveau out doing the Voodoo-Hoodoo
Somewhere in the Bayou tonight;
Try to educate a mind like mine
Like telling the tide to walk back a mile
Stuck on you like a fly on sticky paper
Circling like a moth round a lamp
Know Im going to burn out-of that I'm becoming sure
Take care lil' woman every time you leave the door
Coz I've been beaten and shot a couple times
Had posses chase me way down past the Border Line
But that was just money, I don't cheat at love
Take care of that darling, I'm no Ace of Hearts
Just a vagabond drifter-who used to cheat at cards.
