The Dealer (Down And Losin') (2005 Reissue Bonus Track)

(album: For All Mankind - 1971)

Jack of diamonds, queen of spades
Fingers tremble and the memory fades
And it's a foolish man, who tries to bluff the dealer
Jokers laughed and lady luck smiled
The aces were high and the deuces were wild
When you're down and losing, everyone's a cheater

You can't win and you can't break even
You can't get out of the game
You shouldn't stay but you ain't leaving
'Cause your luck may change again

Just when things were going fine
Someone jumped you from behind
When you're down and losing, everyone's a cheater

You can't win and you can't break even
You can't get out of the game
You shouldn't stay but you ain't leaving
'Cause your luck may change again

Jack of diamonds, queen of spades
Fingers tremble and the memory fades
When you're down and losing, everyone's a cheater
Well, the jokers laughed and lady luck smiled
The aces were high and the deuces were wild
And it's a foolish man, who tries to bluff the dealer

Jack of diamonds, queen of spades
Fingers tremble and the memory fades
When you're down and losing, everyone's a cheater
Well, the jokers laughed and lady luck smiled
The aces were high and the deuces were wild
And it's a foolish man, who tries to bluff the dealer
