Текст песни The Name of the Game Is Stud (Tom Paxton) с переводом

Well late last night, in the Kettle of Fish

I was havin' a glass of beer

When up comes a Rounder by the name of Sam

That lately been seen around here

He gives me a «Howdy» and he buys me a drink

And he calls me by my name

Says some of the boys are just a-waitin' upstairs

Would you like to have a Poker game

There were four or five fellas round the table upstairs

The smoke was thick as sin

They took my coat and they pulled up a chair

And they proceeded to deal me in

I started in winnin' with the very first hand

And I kept on winnin' for a while

I had money in my pockets and money in my shoes

And money in a great big pile

But it’s —

Oh Lordy, don’t you see

This old Stud Poker be the ruin of me

You got to get ready to shed some blood

When the name of the game is Stud

I kept on winnin' for an hour or more

And the boys were feelin' low

I was lookin' like a winner n' feeling like a sinner

And I just about had their dough

I caught a pair of aces on the very last hand

And I bet my whole bank-roll

But Sam he had a pair of deuces on the deck

And another deuce in the hole

And it’s —

Oh Lordy, don’t you see

This old Stud Poker be the ruin of me

You got to get ready to shed some blood

When the name of the game is Stud

You know I lost every penny I had in the world

I lost my last red cent

Now my old woman ain’t talkin' to me

And the landlord wants his rent

I know I had it comin' and it sure enough did

And I’ve only got myself to blame

But my fingers keep itching and I keep on twitching

Just to find another Poker game

And it’s —

Oh Lordy, don’t you see

This old Stud Poker be the ruin of me

You got to get ready to shed some blood

When the name of the game is Stud
