Dead Man's Hand Lyrics

Rode into a one horse town

Dusted off my coat

Walked inside those swinging doors

And that was all she wrote

The dealer was a lady

She was dressed in black

Dealt me aces over eights

And shot me in the back

I was dealt the dead man's hand

In the game of love

I was dealt the dead man's hand

In the game of love

They buried me at sunset

In my Sunday best

Threw a rose into my grave

Just like all the rest

The lady paid the coroner

With a poker chip

Blood stains on her leathers

And a smile upon her lips

I was dealt the dead man's hand

In the game of love

I was dealt the dead man's hand

In the game of love

They buried me at sunset

In my Sunday best

Threw a rose into my grave

Just like all the rest

The screaming of the Eagle

The tolling of the bell

I never knew the reason why

She sent me straight to hell

I was dealt the dead man's hand

In the game of love

I was dealt the dead man's hand

In the game of love
