Well, I've been all around this whole wide world
And I've done most everything
Played cards with the best of men
And I lost everything
Well, I left my man, he was crying
He was crying in the door
How he threw his arms around my neck
He said, "Honey, don't you be too long"
Hey, don't let your deal go down
No, don't let your deal go down
No, don't let your deal go down
Till your last gold dollar is gone
Well, who's gonna shoe your little feet?
Tell me, who's gonna glove your hand?
Who's gonna love on you, my sweet baby?
Tell me, who's gonna be your man?
And where did you get those high top shoes
And the dress that you wear so fine?
She got the shoes from the market place
And the dress from the traveler in the mines
Hey, don't let your deal go down
No, don't let your deal go down
Don't let your deal go down
Till your last gold dollar is gone
Well, I've been all around this whole wide world
And I've done most everything
I played cards with the best of men
I lost everything
