The Deal

Now, I've been all around this whole wide world
Down to Memphis, Tennessee
Any old place, I'll hang my hat
Is home sweet home to me

Now, I left my true girl cryin'
She was standing in the door
She threw her arms around my neck
Sayin' "Honey, don't you go."

Oh, it's don't let your deal go down
Don't let your deal go down
Oh, it's don't let your deal go down
'Til your last gold dollar's gone

Now, I've been all around this whole wide world
I've done most everything
I've played cards with the king and queen
Played for the ace and the ten

Oh, it's don't let your deal go down
Don't let your deal go down
Oh, it's don't let your deal go down
'Til your last gold dollar's gone

"Now, where did you get them high-topped shoes
And the dress you wear so fine?"
"I got my shoes from a railroad man
And my dress from a driver in the mine."

Oh, it's don't let your deal go down
Don't let your deal go down
Oh it's don't let your deal go down
'Til your last gold dollar's gone

"Now who's gonna shoe your little white feet
And it's who's gonna glove your hand?
Who's gonna kiss your ruby-like cheeks
And who's gonna be your man?"

"Now, it's Papa may shoe my little white feet
Mom can glove my hand
No one can kiss my lily-white cheeks
'Til you come back again."

Oh, it's don't let your deal go down
'Til your last dollar is gone
