[Verse 1] I remember it well, was a hot rainy night When that stranger rode into town And tied up his horse at the rainbow café And bought everybody a round "Hey bartender, break open a new deck of cards!" "Let's have some good honest fun." "Now a sociable game for a dollar or two-" "That never hurt anyone!" [Chorus] Now put your money right down on the table boys The name of the game? Five Card Stud Now, deal slow and easy from the top, son The name of the game? Five Card Stud [Verse 2] That poker game lasted all through the night It lasted through the next day But one by one, they had to drop out When they had no more money to play That night, there was only the stranger And a cowboy, a young friend of mine They shuffled the cards in the crowd since the end As they put all their chips on the line [Chorus] Now put your money right down on the table boys The name of the game? Five Card Stud Now, deal slow and easy from the top, son The name of the game? Five Card Stud [Verse 3] After four cards were dealt to the young cowboy's hand Two kings, everybody could see But the stranger's hand, looking better than his Showed an ace, and an ace, and a three The last card was dealt to the young cowboy's hand And when he turned up a third king Why that stranger just smiled and turned in his cards And he left without saying a thing [Verse 4] Well after he'd gone, they turned over his cards And surprise showed on everyone's face Oh they'll never know why he got up to go When his card in the hole was an ace Now in poker all the rules say that aces beat kings So in truth, the stranger had won But out of the crowd, just the two of us knew That the stranger was playing his son [Chorus] Now put your money right down on the table boys The name of the game? Five Card Stud Five Card Stud Five Card Stud
