Little Queen Of Spades
Eric Clapton · Sessions For Robert J Cd/dvd [2008]
She is a little queen of spades
And the men will not let her be.
Said she is a little queen of spades
And the men will not let her be.
Everytime she make a spread,
Oh fair brown, cold chills run all over me.
Gonna get me a gambling woman
If it's the last thing that I do.
Gonna get me a gambling woman
If it's the last thing that I do.
A man don't need a woman,
Oh fair brown, that he got to give all of his money to.
Everybody said you got a mojo,
'Cause baby, you've been using that stuff.
Everybody said you got a mojo
Baby, you've been using that stuff.
Got a way trimming down,
Oh fair brown, and I mean it's most too tough.
Little girl, since I am the king,
Baby, and you is the queen,
Little girl, since I am the king,
Baby, and you is the queen,
Let us put our heads together,
Oh fair brown, and we can make our money green.
And the men will not let her be.
Said she is a little queen of spades
And the men will not let her be.
Everytime she make a spread,
Oh fair brown, cold chills run all over me.
Gonna get me a gambling woman
If it's the last thing that I do.
Gonna get me a gambling woman
If it's the last thing that I do.
A man don't need a woman,
Oh fair brown, that he got to give all of his money to.
Everybody said you got a mojo,
'Cause baby, you've been using that stuff.
Everybody said you got a mojo
Baby, you've been using that stuff.
Got a way trimming down,
Oh fair brown, and I mean it's most too tough.
Little girl, since I am the king,
Baby, and you is the queen,
Little girl, since I am the king,
Baby, and you is the queen,
Let us put our heads together,
Oh fair brown, and we can make our money green.
Little Queen Of Spades
Eric Clapton's "Little Queen Of Spades" stands as a poignant tribute to his late wife, Pamela, recorded during the intimate "Sessions For Robert J" collection. Released in 2008, the track reflects Clapton's enduring emotional depth and his commitment to honoring his personal history through his music. The song captures a quiet, reflective mood characteristic of Clapton's later work, focusing on themes of loss and memory rather than overt performance. As part of his broader discography, this recording demonstrates his continued ability to connect with audiences through sincere storytelling and acoustic arrangements that highlight the raw emotion inherent in his songwriting.
