There Gnever was a bad man in the Ammovies
Who could D7lie and cheat like Honest GSam
GIn the card room down at AmLouie's
He'd D7take the pay from the working Gman
D7Lay your cards on the Gtable
and everyA7body show his D7hand
GFoiled again you sad-eyed Amloser
D7Foiled again by Honest GSam
GOnce there came a simple Amstranger
He D7caught Sam cheating and words were Gsaid
GSam just winked at Joe the StAmranger
D7Joe he shot that stranger Gdead
D7Lay your cards on the Gtable
and everyA7body show his D7hand
GFoiled again you sad-eyed Amloser
D7Foiled again by Honest GSam

Now GHonest Sam lives in a Ammansion
And he D7sails his ships out on the Gsea
And Gif the devil paid his Amransom
Well, then I D7guess he'd pay for you and Gme
D7Lay your cards on the Gtable
and everyA7body show his D7hand
GFoiled again you sad-eyed Amloser
D7Foiled again by Honest GSam
