I try to be a good man, Lord I know I should
I'd walk upright and sleep at night if only I could
If I only could
I work hard for that money, my debts should have been paid
If it weren't for that devil card I know I'd have it made
I know I'd have it made
d*** that old queen of spades (3x)
She done beat me again (4x)
My game is always on the run, a home I will not find
It don't matter where I run, she's always right behind
You're always right behind
I try to be a good man, Lord I know I should
I'd walk upright and sleep at night if I only could
If I only could
d*** that old queen of spades (3x)
She done beat me again (4x)
d*** that old queen of spades, she's got ice in her veins
She don't want your money, man, she'll take your soul in chains
She'll take your soul in chains
I tried to be a good man when I was a boy
That devil b**** done come along, and now I'm just her toy
Now I'm just her toy
d*** that old queen of spades (3x)
She done beat me again (4x)
I'd walk upright and sleep at night if only I could
If I only could
I work hard for that money, my debts should have been paid
If it weren't for that devil card I know I'd have it made
I know I'd have it made
d*** that old queen of spades (3x)
She done beat me again (4x)
My game is always on the run, a home I will not find
It don't matter where I run, she's always right behind
You're always right behind
I try to be a good man, Lord I know I should
I'd walk upright and sleep at night if I only could
If I only could
d*** that old queen of spades (3x)
She done beat me again (4x)
d*** that old queen of spades, she's got ice in her veins
She don't want your money, man, she'll take your soul in chains
She'll take your soul in chains
I tried to be a good man when I was a boy
That devil b**** done come along, and now I'm just her toy
Now I'm just her toy
d*** that old queen of spades (3x)
She done beat me again (4x)
