Aces High

This is a story about an old saloon bar
Win a herd of cattle, with a deck of cards
You've got the whores, women for your lust
Sippin' moonshine, poker sure to bust
Once was a lady called Old Snaked Eyed Jane

Born on the prairies, father was a gamblin' man
He was a joker always aces high
In a gamblin' bet won an old saloon bar
They had their troubles n' their strifes
Try bringing up three kids and a pregnant wife

On a wagon-train full of misery, yeah
They sang their sorrows across the old prairie
This is a story about an old saloon bar
Win a herd of cattle, with a deck of cards
You've got the whores, women for your lust

Sippin' moonshine, poker sure to bust
There's bad men Indians coming down the way
Loaded guns, being fired away
Those Indians they ran for their lives
Smoked their peace pipe became friends for life

This is a story about an old saloon bar
Win a herd of cattle, with a deck of cards
You've got your whores, women for your lust
Sippin' moonshine, poker sure to bust

In troubled times of old
Across the mountains in search of gold
Prospect town ride saddles sore
Travellers treasure like a rich man fucked the whore
This is a story about an old saloon bar
Win a herd of cattle, with a deck of cards

You've got your whores, women for your lust
Sippin' moonshine, poker sure to bust, yeee haw
Well old Judd clamped it in the balls
Up in the hills, tryin' to catch a horse
That fated day outlaws came to town

First thing they did was shoot the sheriff down
Then they stumbled across an old saloon bar
They shot a drunk, threw Old Snake Eye across the bar
Hope they see we paid to hunt them down
Pulled a twelve whore shot those robbers down

This is a story about an old saloon bar
Win a herd of cattle, with a deck of cards
You've got your whores, women for your lust
Sippin' moonshine, poker sure to bust, yeee haw
