Turn the Cards Slowly

Written by Sammy Masters

(As released by Patsy Cline November 5, 1955)



Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'

Please don't double-deal to win my heart

Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'

Don't go breakin' rules right from the start



The ramblin', gamblin', reckless way

You treat my heart's a sin

Each night down on my knees I pray

Your gamblin' ways will end

Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'

And if you stack the deck, then I'll move on



{ Instrumental }



Now, Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'

Please don't double-deal to win my heart

Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'

Don't go breakin' rules right from the start



The ramblin', gamblin', reckless way

You treat my heart's a sin

Each night down on my knees I pray

Your gamblin' ways will end

Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'

And if you stack the deck, then I'll move on



{Instrumental }



Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin' 'em, darlin',

And if you stack the deck, then I'll move on...
