Artist/Band: Hank Snow
Lyrics for Song: Queen of Draw Poker Club
Lyrics for Album: The Singing Ranger, Vol. 3 [Bear Family (Germany)] [1994]



Her eyes looked at mine with a cold vacant stare

I'd still like to know what I saw in her there

She wasn't outstanding, her features were small

And personality wise she had nothing at all.



But two people that night, me and God above

Knew this was the woman that I'd always love

For who can explain what goes on in your heart

That can cause a woman to tear you apart.



In a swank poker club where it's legal to play

And the suckers and booze turn the night into day

There I led with my heart when the big chips were down

And I lost to the queen of draw poker town.



I was soon to find out why they gave her that name

She was hooked on the cards and lived for the game

I thought she might change but it's now plain to see

The deck had been stacked and the joker was me.



My bills are unpaid and the rent money's gone

The bread box is empty and our clothes are in pawn

And night after night you'll find me alone

Just walking the floor until she gets home.



Day after day I keep tellin' myself let her go break away

Let the suckers and booze turn the night into day

But speakin' of fools you can hand me the crown

For I still love the queen of draw poker town.



Now here is a woman who lives without shame

A sick mind, a slave to the draw poker game

Day and night there she sits with her coveted chips

And the cigarette smoke billows out from her lips.



A pitiful sight from her head to her feet

I know she would rather play poker than eat

But I also know well but I can't tell you why

I'll live just for her until the day that I die.



The landlord can wait, I'll run and I'll hide

Who cares if the bread box is empty inside

I'll stay home alone, I'll go without shoes

I've got nothing to gain but no more to lose.



Till the day she plays her last hand, her last card is drawn

Till I've sold my last shirt and my last buxk is gone

I'll be king of the fools and I'll never sit down

For I worship the queen of draw poker town...
