I'm called a spade
My mind has done been made
That's what the man, he said
Then he threw his money down
And they passed the cards around
This weren't no children's game
He said his name
Was just a passin' thing
While I looked at him confused
But I soon knew what he meant
With his revolver spent
On everything but me
Just then, he laughed and handed me a bag
Said, Could you fill it for me please?
Then we rode all night long
Through the dark into the dawn
Before we finally took our rest
Said he'd come in from Galveston
That troubled city by the gulf
He said, I knew your sister well
So when I saw you I could tell
By that ribbon on your sleeve
I'm sorry to say your sister's passed away
I seen it with my own two eyes
And those same evil men
Who killed my closest kin
They were sittin' there by you
Listen to me, life is misery
Trouble's always on the way
And if I were you, I know what I'd do
Because they're sure to fall the spade

And they passed the cards around

While I looked at him confused
But I soon knew what he meant

Just then, he laughed and handed me a bag
