King Takes The Queen

Larry Hosford

Well you're a high-life lady drinkin city wine
and your finger rings honey how they shine
but you keep tellin' me that queen is the thing
that I do not understand

I'd like to deal you into my game and you'd find
The king takes the queen honey, every time

With your chessboard logic and your knights
and your pawn's you've rooked everybody that
you've ever known

But sit right down and I'll deal up a hand
and that's what I understand
But one of my rules is clear as your wine

The king takes the queen honey every time

Well you'll consider everything
the pro's and the con's
So consider it said and consider it done
If you play the game the way that I've got planned
I hope you understand

Until you call me and we change your mind
The king takes the queen honey every time

I don't go no lowball, studder no (pan?)
I don't acey ducey with a woman or man
but I've got (five?) for you sweet little hand
that I know you'll understand

Until I see you turn water to wine
The king takes the queen honey every time
you're a high-life lady drinkin' city wine

You're a highlife lady drinking city wine
and your finger rings honey how they shine
but you keep tellin' me that queen is the thing
that I do not understand

I'd like to deal you into my game and you'll find
The king takes the queen honey every time

Yes until I see you turn water to wine
the king takes the queen every time
