Well, I've been all around this whole wide world

And I've done most everything

Played cards with the best of men

And I lost everything

Well, I left my man, he was crying

He was crying in the door

How he threw his arms around my neck

He said, "Honey, don't you be too long"

Hey, don't let your deal go down

No, don't let your deal go down

No, don't let your deal go down

'Til your last gold dollar is gone

Well, who's gonna shoe your little feet?

Tell me, who's gonna glove your hand?

Who's gonna love on you, my sweet baby?

Tell me, who's gonna be your man?

And where did you get those high top shoes

And the dress that you wear so fine?

She got the shoes from the marketplace

And the dress from the traveler in the mines

Hey, don't let your deal go down

No, don't let your deal go down

No, don't let your deal go down

'Til your last gold dollar is gone

Ooh

Well, I've been all around this whole wide world

And I've done most everything

I played cards with the best of men

I lost everything

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh
