Lyrics

As the dealer dealt the cards to everyone
I could see that I was free
I had an ace of hearts, the dream of every man
And I could see my destiny
I can not justify the way I play
But only see them as they fall

The diamond jack
Black magical lady luck
Who will show me the way

When you have your freedom
Without worldly care
Around human share
Along the way there's evil waitin' for you
And evil's not judge and jury, but yourself

When you're tired to the bone
Remembrance gone
And you have cast your dice
Take your chances as they come, one by one
The hand of fate is as cold as ice
