I rode into Laredo all beat up by the trail
That leads me back to Maria
My bonita take me home
How I long for your precious loving
To take me back to a time
When I didn't have a single worry on my mind
Spent two years in hiding
Riding only when the night slipped in
To way back when it started
With her starlit fingers slidin down my back
And in a nick of time
I had lost all that I had to lose
That million dollar smile
Didn't even take it no I just a-gave it away, my my my
Should have known when that joker he broke into song singing
Everyone here she comes, the one and only queen of hearts
Jack or king, she'll have you swing no matter how you play your cards
Oh queen of hearts you did me
Like a snake you bit me fore you sucked me dry
And I would let you time and time again
She dared me and I went all in
I went to heaven then returned
Back out on the streets the queen of hearts she played me like a fool
O Maria mine, please forgive me for yes I have sinned
Baby dry your eyes
Take this guilt that I carry that I tried to bury so deep down inside
Maria looked me right into my eyes and she said
What you done I don't care to know
I got a new man you see
The King of Diamonds will shake your game right down to your knees
And the jokers burst into song
Singing in sweet harmony
Everyone here she comes, the one and only queen of hearts
Jack or king, she'll have you swing no matter how you play your cards
Oh queen of hearts you did me
Like a snake you bit me fore you sucked me dry
And I would let you time and time again
