The wicked king of clubs awoke
Raja klub yang jahat terbangun
it was to his queen turned
ratu itu berpaling
his lips were laughing as they spoke
Bibirnya tertawa saat mereka berbicara
his eyes like bullets burned
Matanya seperti peluru terbakar
the sun's upon a gambling day
matahari pada hari judi
his queen smiled low and blissfully
ratunya tersenyum rendah dan bahagia
let's make some wretched fool to play
mari kita membuat beberapa orang bodoh untuk bermain
plain it was she did agree
polos itu dia setuju
He send his deuce down into diamond
Dia mengirim deuce-nya ke berlian
his four to hart, and his trey to spade
keempatnya untuk hart, dan harta karunnya untuk sekop
three kings with their legions come
tiga raja dengan legiun mereka datang
preparations soon where made
Persiapan segera di mana dibuat
they voted club the days commander
mereka memilih club hari komandan
gave him an army face and number
memberinya wajah dan nomor tentara
all but the outlaw jack of diamonds
semua kecuali jack penjahat berlian
and the aces in the sky
dan aces di langit
He give his sevens first instructions
Dia memberikan instruksi ketujuh pertamanya
spirit me a game of stud
Semarakkan aku permainan pejantan
stakes unscarred by limitation
taruhannya tidak dibatasi oleh keterbatasan
'tween a man named Gold and man named Mud
‘tween seorang pria bernama Gold dan pria bernama Mud
Club filled Gold with greedy vapors
Klub mengisi Emas dengan uap serakah
'til his long, green eyes did glow
Sampai matanya yang hijau dan hijau bersinar
Mud was left with the sighs and trembles
Lumpur ditinggalkan dengan desahan dan gemetar
watching his hard earned money go
memperhatikan uang hasil jerih payahnya
Flushes fell on Gold like water
Flushes jatuh pada Emas seperti air
tens they paired and paired again
puluhan mereka dipasangkan dan dipasangkan lagi
but the aces only flew through heaven
Tapi ace hanya terbang melalui surga
and the diamond jack called no man friend
dan jack berlian yang disebut no man friend
The diamond queen saw Muds ordeal
Ratu berlian melihat lumpur cobaan
began to think of her long lost son
mulai memikirkan anaknya yang telah lama hilang
fell to her knees with a mother's mercy
berlutut dengan rahmat seorang ibu
prayed to the angels every one
berdoa kepada para malaikat setiap orang
The diamond queen, she prayed and prayed
Ratu berlian, dia berdoa dan berdoa
and the diamond angel filled Muds hole
dan malaikat berlian itu mengisi lubang Lumpur
the wicked king of clubs himself
raja klub yang jahat itu sendiri
fell in face down in front of Gold
jatuh di muka di depan Emas
now three kings come to Clubs command
Sekarang tiga raja datang ke perintah Clubs
but the angels from the sky did ride
Tapi malaikat dari langit memang mengendarai
three kings up on the streets of Gold
tiga raja di jalanan Emas
three fireballs on the muddy side
tiga bola api di sisi berlumpur
The club queen heard her husband's call
Ratu klub mendengar telepon suaminya
but Lord that queen of diamond's joy
Tapi Tuhan itu ratu sukacita berlian
when the outlaw in the heavenly hall
saat penjahat di aula surgawi
turned out to be a wandering boy
Ternyata menjadi anak laki-laki yang mengembara
Now Mud he checked and Gold bet all
Sekarang Lumpur dia cek dan Gold bertaruh semua
and Mud he raised and Gold did call
dan Lumpur yang dia angkat dan Gold memang menelepon
and the smile just melted off his face
dan senyum itu meleleh dari wajahnya
when Mud turned over that diamond ace
Saat Mud membalikkan kartu asupan berlian itu
Now here's what this story's told
Nah, inilah yang dikatakan oleh cerita ini
if you feel like Mud you'll end up Gold
Jika Anda merasa seperti Lumpur Anda akan berakhir Emas
if y
jika y
