Charley Crockett - Spade
"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
★ Verse 2 ★
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
★ Verse 3 ★
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
★ Verse 4 ★
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"
★ Verse 6 ★
"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"
