FAST HAND JACK

Fast Hand Jack was a gambling man
On the Mississippi Queen going to New Orleans
he an eye for counting cards, sticky fingers to match
he used to hide his 45 wipe under his hat

He learned to deal from the devil with a deck of trick cards
made a living taking money from the hustlers and sharks
and got a little too good at the luck of the draw
fast hand jack was a man who didnt know when to stop

Fast hand Jack (3x)

He used to win theyd say fast hand he done it again
playing cards with you aint really playing a game
now could you borrow me the money, to get back home
Well if you need it so bad then wha'd you spend it for?
anytime

Now fast hand jack was born in 1912,
they say his mother was an angel and his fathers from hell
but one things for sure they had the magic touch
fast hand jack was a man who didnt run out of luck

and one day the devil come to fast hands door
trying to collect the debt that fast hand owed
he said devil please you know i aint got the cash
fast hand lets see if you will ever win again

Fast Hand Jack (3x)

He used to win theyd say fast hand he done it again
playing cards with you aint really playing a game
now could you borrow me the money, to get back home
Well if you need it so bad then wha'd ya spend it for?
anytime

Now its fast hand jack on the gamblin boat
game of Texas Hold Em' with a bunch of cut throats
One time in his life that he just couldnt win
you know he couldnt pay up so they took his left hand

now its one hand jack sitting on his front porch
Shuffles with his thumb so he dont gamble no more
Well one things for sure you cant always win
when you deal with the devil you come back again
anytime

Fast Hand Jack (3x)

(REPEAT)
