Lyrics:
Six At This Table rev 2022
D.Heath Eidman 2017 caged 2
There’s five at this table.
But we can make room.
For one more
Four crows perched on the
Steeple
So quickly close that door
That man on left is the dealer.
So, get your cards thrown.
Face down
Hold on to your aces.
We play for blood in this town.
Here my friend have a cigar
Cause there’s a devil in this deck
Stack those chips wisely.
Don’t trust your lucky
Cigarette
Make sure you show your hand.
Before that midnight dog howls
If you must make confessions
Well, there’s no better time than
Now
CHORUS
Keep your hard close to your vest.
Don’t Bet like a fool or a thief.
If you deal from the bottom
I’ll put you down six feet.
There’s salt of the table
If you must blind the devil’s eyes
As he sits on your left shoulder
Bidding for a soul to buy.
You look scared my friend.
So, toss your hand into the muck.
Played over your head tonight.
And used up all the Luck.
It’s not a game for the faint of heart
Nor sweaty shaky hands
Deck of cards is the devil's prayer book
At the end you’re be damned
As the broken man leaves the game
A stranger comes through the door.
There's five at this table.
But we can make room for one more.
