Five Card Stud

He was King at Five Card Stud
The stranger's game was Five Card Stud
He was hard to beat, rather play than eat
Long as it was Five Card Stud

When he played he played for blood
When this ramblin', gamblin' man said, "Deal 'em"
You had better beware

Bet your poke and he'd leave you broke
Then he'd make a joke as he slyly grinned
Then he'd say, "That's enough today"
And he'd ride away like the wind

Stud was all he lived and breathed
But now and then a fire seethed
Liked his gals and fun then he'd up and run
Run right back to Five Card Stud

Never played two hands the same
He could bluff you, bluff you blind
You'd swear that he invented the game

How he loved that Five Card Stud
Life to him was Five Card Stud
When he played he played for blood
He was King at Five Card Stud
