Ray Wylie Hubbard – Mississippi Flush

Ray Wylie Hubbard – Mississippi Flush Lyrics

Artist: Ray Wylie Hubbard
Song: Mississippi Flush

Well, they got a little game called 5-card draw
They take it serious in Arkansas
You can make a little money wagering on cards
You can’t get to heaven living this hard

Deliver me from my sorrow and shame
Release me from my burden and pain
It’s a one eyed jack and a suicide king
Ace of spades and two black queens

Never draw to an inside straight
I feel a ten knocking at the gate
Deliver me from my sorrow and shame
Release me from my burden and pain

Blackbird, blackbird fly away home
Say a prayer over St. John’s bones
Tell the gamblers they’re gonna die alone
Blackbird, blackbird fly away home

Blackbird, blackbird come back again’
Don’t tell mamma where I been
Going to the river and I’m gonna jump in
Blackbird, blackbird come back again

It’s an ace high straight and all the same suit
Read ’em and weep this hand can’t lose
Somebody said “That ain’t good enough
That don’t beat a Mississippi flush”

Mr. Ledbetter will you tell me again
What’s a Mississippi flush and how’s it beat this hand
He said “They don’t ask questions in the graveyard
It’s a small revolver and any five cards”
