Read 'em and Weep Lyrics

He came to the table

Pulled up his chair

They all tried to warn him

But he didn't care

Laid his chips on the table

Bet all that he had

With his future in the balance

He made his last stand

With all of his hope

And his eyes open wide

He lost all he had

Including his pride

So, read 'em and weep, boy

Read 'em and weep

When you dance with the Devil

It's your soul he's going to keep

Whoa, he's going to keep

Whoa, read 'em and weep

'Cause when you dance with the Devil

You know he's playing for keeps

Whoa, Read e'm and weep

You get to my table

You pull up a chair

You buy in the game

But buyer beware

With that stack on the table

And your luck on the line

I'm ready to take it

One chip at a time

You emptied your bank

And mortgaged your soul

You're swimming with the shark

And about to pay the toll

You read your cards

While I read your eyes

The hand you hold

You cannot disguise

Fortune favors the bold

But never smiles on a fool

You put your life on the line

But life can be so cruel

Read 'em and weep, boys

Read 'em and weep

You're leaving empty handed

Now give up your seat

Read 'em and weep, boys

Read 'em and weep

You're leaving all alone

Now you're out on the street

I'm one step ahead

While you're two steps behind

You see your chance

I know you're blind

You're roll the dice

Put it all on the line

You add it up

And now it's all mine

Fortune favors the bold

But never smiles on a fool

You put your life on the line

But life can be so cruel

Ahhhh

Ahhhh

You came to my table

Pulled up your chair

They all tried to warn you

But you didn't care

Laid your cards

Bet all that you had

You bought a lesson

And it's driving you mad

With all your contempt

And your eyes opened wide

It took all you got

Including your pride

So, Read 'em and weep, boy

Read 'em and weep

When you dance with the Devil

It's your soul he's gonna keep

Read 'em and weep

Read 'em and weep

Read 'em and weep

Read 'em and weep

Read 'em and weep, boy
