[Chorus]
I'll be the queen of your heart, dear
You'll be the king of my love
I'll deal through that whole deck to find you
And you'll wait for my time to come
[Verse 1]
I've lived a lone life dear without you
I played a lone hand all the way
I ached when I lost, I pretended to laugh
But I felt more like crying these days
Since you came and stood there beside me
And told me my best way to play
Your hand touched mine and the sunshine did shine
And we left that whole card house next day
[Chorus]
I'll be the queen of your heart, dear
You'll be the king of my love
I'll deal through that whole deck to find you
You'll wait for my time to come
[Verse 2]
Rough Jack didn't like you to help me
He would kill you if you left with me
Jack's two forty fours drilled round that door
As we backed hand in hand to the street
Jack turned his last slug on his own self
Pitched down on that sawdusty floor
That's why you're the king, you're the king of my love
That's why I trust cards nevermore
[Chorus]
I'll be the queen of your heart, dear
You'll be the king of my love
I'll deal through that whole deck to find you
You'll wait for my time to come
[Verse 3]
I tossed off my card house costume
And I slipped on my sweet cotton dress
You're king of our house here, my darling
No turn of a card hand can wreck
You're king of my big sunny smile now
You're king of my red rosy cheeks
And I'm queen of this cradle that rocks here
No joker can steal me away
[Chorus]
I'll be the queen of your heart, dear
You'll be the king of my love
I'll deal through that whole deck to find you
You'll wait for my time to come
I'll be the queen of your heart, dear
You'll be the king of my love
I'll deal through that whole deck to find you
You'll wait for my time to come
You'll wait for my time to come
You'll wait for my time to come
You'll wait for my time to come
