Mr. Mudd & Mr. Gold (Live at the Old Quarter) - Townes Van Zandt
[Verse 1]
Well the wicked King of Clubs awoke
It was to his Queen he turned
His lips were laughing as they spoke
His eyes like bullets burned

[Verse 2]
The sun's upon a gambling day
His Queen smiled low and blissfully
Let's make some wretched fool to pay
Plain it was she did agree

[Verse 3]
He sent his Deuce down into Diamond
His Four to Heart, and his Trey to Spade
Three Kings with their legions come
And preparations soon where made

[Verse 4]
They voted Club the day's commander
Give him an army, face and number
All but the outlaw Jack of Diamonds
And the Aces in the sky

[Verse 5]
Well, he gave his Sevens first instructions
Spirit me a game of stud
Stakes unscarred by limitation
'Tween a man named Gold and man named Mudd
[Verse 6]
And Club filled Gold with greedy vapors
Till his long, green eyes did glow
And Mudd was left with the sighs and trembles
Watching his hard earned money go

[Verse 7]
Flushes fell on Gold like water
Tens they paired and paired again
But the Aces only flew through heaven
And the Diamond Jack called no man friend

[Verse 8]
The Diamond Queen saw Mudd's ordeal
Began to think of her long lost son
Fell to her knees with a mother's mercy
And prayed to the angels every one

[Verse 9]
The Diamond Queen, she prayed and prayed
And the Diamond Angel filled Mudd's hole
And the wicked King of Clubs himself
Fell face down in front of Gold

[Verse 10]
Now, three Kings come to Clubs command
But the angels from the sky did ride
Three Kings up on the streets of Gold
Three fireballs on the muddy side
