Well I don't hold no aces,
I don't play five card stud,
I don't live by the roll of the dice,
I don't carry me no gun won't you understand,
please understand,
don't be no fool don't play the Devil's hand

Well whiskey make you crazy,
gin will make you think,
a broken heart and a loneseome mind will drive a man to drink,
won't you understand please understand
don't be no fool don't play the Devil's hand
Well alright!

Yeah I went down to the crossroads stared down at the ground,
way up in the distance baby I heard a lonesome sound,
won't you understand yeah please understand
don't cut no deal don't shake the Devil's hand
