There Cnever was a bad man in the Dmmovies
Who could G7lie and cheat like Honest CSam
CIn the card room down at DmLouie's
He'd G7take the pay from the working Cman
G7Lay your cards on the Ctable
and everyD7body show his G7hand
CFoiled again you sad-eyed Dmloser
G7Foiled again by Honest CSam
COnce there came a simple Dmstranger
He G7caught Sam cheating and words were Csaid
CSam just winked at Joe the StDmranger
G7Joe he shot that stranger Cdead
G7Lay your cards on the Ctable
and everyD7body show his G7hand
CFoiled again you sad-eyed Dmloser
G7Foiled again by Honest CSam

Now CHonest Sam lives in a Dmmansion
And he G7sails his ships out on the Csea
And Cif the devil paid his Dmransom
Well, then I G7guess he'd pay for you and Cme
G7Lay your cards on the Ctable
and everyD7body show his G7hand
CFoiled again you sad-eyed Dmloser
G7Foiled again by Honest CSam
