Gamble with the Devil

Текст песни The O'Reillys and the Paddyhats - Gamble with the Devil

I'm married to a beauty
But she's doomed to die
A reaper at the doorstep asks
"Ready for goodbye?"
I can't let her go
But there's just no way out
Go down to the bar
And hope to black out

So, I walk in
And tell my story to the barman
He listens to me and says, "No worries, boy, I've got a good plan"
He opens up a secret door
Showing me his joker
I can't believe my eyes
It's the devil playin' poker

I gamble with the devil
And begin my prayer
My stake is my soul
And my pot is my love affair
I gamble with the devil
To save my wife
So, we can be together in the afterlife
So, we can be together in the afterlife

The game is on
And I break out in sweat, I have to win
Or I'll always regret
I picture my wife in purgatory all day
The devil, oh, he grins
Has got to pray

I gamble with the devil
And begin my prayer
My stake is my soul
And my pot is my love affair
I gamble with the devil
To save my wife
So, we can be together in the afterlife
So, we can be together in the afterlife

After five rounds of poker
My pot is really high
The devil he is angry
He looks me in the eye
"Oh, you little bastard
Never mind what I said
I will keep your wife down
With me in hell" (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)

I gambled with the devil
And began my prayer
My stake was my soul
And my pot was my love affair
I gambled with the devil
And I lost my wife
So, we won't be together in the afterlife
We won't be together in the afterlife

Don't gamble with the devil
You cannot win
Don't trust his words
Don't fall for his grin
Don't gamble with the devil
Or you'll lose your wife
And you won't be together in the afterlife
And you won't be together in the afterlife
And you won't be together in the afterlife
