I PLAYED CARDS WITH THE DEVIL

I played cards with the devil
Thought that I could win.
I played cards with the devil
I wouldn’t do that again.

.

Thought I was a winner
Had a full house aces high.
Bet my money and my soul
As I looked him in the eye.

.

He just kind of grinned at me.
I felt there is something wrong.
Then I felt the table shake
Was in a place I don’t belong.

.

“You know that I’m royalty, “
He said with mighty roar.
“For I have a royal flush
Now you have a soul no more.”

.

Guess I took for granted
In faith of the lord above.
If I could play my cards again
Would have bet upon his love.

.

Maybe it’s too late for me
For I’m in the devils grasp.
Now my blood run cold
Since being bitten by his asp.

.

So ask of you sweet Jesus
Let me come to you and pray.
I promise my faith in you
Again will never go astray.

.

Jesus I have learned my lesson

You have taught me very well.
If you play cards with the devil
Your going straight to Hell.

Reminds me of a Dylan or a Cash song, very nice story, would have preferred more length though.

Quite a story--and quite a lesson.
