Well the wicked king of clubs awoke And it was to his queen turned His lips were laughing as they spoke His eyes like bullets burned
The sun's upon a gambling day His queen smiled low and blissfully Let's make some wretched fool to pay Plain it was she did agree
He send his deuce down into diamond His four to heart, and his trey to spade Three kings with their legions come Preparations soon where made
They voted club the days commander Gave him an army face and number All but the outlaw jack of diamonds And the aces in the sky
Well, he gave his sevens first instructions Spirit me a game of stud Stakes unscarred by limitation Between a man named Gold and man named Mud
Club filled Gold with greedy vapors Till his long, green eyes did glow And Mud was left with the sighs and trembles Watching his hard earned money go
Flushes fell on Gold like water Tens they paired and paired again But the aces only flew through heaven And the diamond jack called no man friend
Now, the Diamond Queen saw Muds ordeal Began to think of her long lost son Fell to her knees with a mother's mercy And prayed to the angels every one
Now, the Diamond Queen, she prayed and prayed And the Diamond Angel filled Muds hole The wicked King of Clubs himself Fell in face down in front of Gold
Now, three kings come to Clubs command But the angels from the sky did ride Three kings up on the streets of Gold Three fireballs on the muddy side
The club queen heard her husband's call But Lord, that Queen of Diamond's joy When the outlaw in the heavenly hall Turned out to be a wandering boy
Now, Mud he checked and Gold bet all And Mud he raised and Gold did call And the smile just melted on his face When Mud turned over that diamond ace
Now, here's what this story's told If you feel like Mud you'll end up Gold If you feel like lost, you'll end up found So amigo, lay them raises down
Please excuse my strong language, but I f*ckin' loved it!
I think you did a great job, specially comping the voice. Also liked the fact that you added some mayor parts, saving the song from sounding TOO minor.
A few weeks ago I did this 5th position work for my rock covers blues duo. It was real fun.
