Don't play cards with Satan 
He'll deal you an awful hand 
Don't play cards with Satan 
He'll deal you an awful hand 
(please believe me)
Did I ever stop and tell you 
I am a desperate man 

I thought I saw a bluebird 
Sitting on a post 
I thought I saw a bluebird
Sitting on a post 
Shiver down my spine 
I thought it was the Holy Ghost 

I heard the word before 
And I knew that it was good 
I heard the word before 
And I knew that it was good 
Somebody oughta do 
Like the good book should 

I heard the voice of SATAN 
Crying in the woods 
I heard the voice of SATAN 
Crying in the woods 
I saw my own heart 
Laying black with blood 

Don't play cards with Satan 
He'll deal you an awful hand 
Don't play cards with Satan 
He'll deal you an awful hand 
(please believe me) 
Did I ever stop and tell you 
I am a desperate man 
A desperate man 

Take it 

SATAN! SATAN! SATAN!
