Spade

I'm called a spade My mind has done been made That's what the man, he said Then he threw his money down And they passed the cards around This weren't no children's game He said his name Was just a passin' thing While I looked at him confused But I soon knew what he meant With his revolver spent On everything but me Just then, he laughed and handed me a bag Said, Could you fill it for me please? Then we rode all night long Through the dark into the dawn Before we finally took our rest Said he'd come in from Galveston That troubled city by the gulf He said, I knew your sister well So when I saw you I could tell By that ribbon on your sleeve I'm sorry to say your sister's passed away I seen it with my own two eyes And those same evil men Who killed my closest kin They were sittin' there by you Listen to me, life is misery Trouble's always on the way And if I were you, I know what I'd do Because they're sure to fall the spade
