Deal > Songtext
von Grateful Dead

Since it cost a lot to win
Even more to lose
You and me bound to spend some time
Wondering what to choose

It goes to show you don′t ever know
Watch each card you play, play it slow

Wait until that deal go 'round
Don′t you let that deal go down, oh no

I've been gambling hereabouts
For ten good solid years
If I told you that all that went down
It would burn off both your ears

It goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play and play it slow

Wait until that deal come ′round
Don′t you let that deal go down, oh no


Since you poured the wine for me
And tightened up my shoes
I hate to leave you sitting there
Composing lonesome blues

It goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play, play it slow

Wait until that deal come ′round
Don't you let that deal go down, oh no

Costs a lot to win
Even more to lose
You and me bound to spend some time
Wonderin′ what to choose

It goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play, play it slow

Wait until your deal come ′round
Don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come 'round
Don′t you let that deal go down


Wait until that deal come ′round
Don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come ′round
Don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come ′round
Don't you let that deal go down

Don′t you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down
Don′t you let that deal go down

Don′t you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down
Don′t you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down, oh no
