Beat the White Joker

I beat the White Joker with aces and queens

Even though he did his best

To bluff and to bluster and bolster his bet

With a black heart he slipped from his vest

 

(chorus)

You can deal ‘em up or you can deal ‘em down

So long as you’re dealing ‘em clean

Always cover your bets and don’t never cheat

That’s something that Death once told me

 

Now I’m not so much of a gambling man

As to ever be going “all in”

When the stakes are as high as the depth of your soul

And your life is the price of a win

 

 

Thomas Hubbard (3/9/2009)

 

Beat the White Joker was recorded live and uncut in the living room on an Olympus LS-10. Just me and a guitar about 2 feet away from the mic with levels set on automatic.
