Don’t Let Your Deal Go Down

[Verse 1] 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" [Chorus] Hey, don't let your deal go down No, don't let your deal go down No, don't let your deal go down 'Til your last gold dollar is gone [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] 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 marketplace And the dress from the traveler in the mines [Chorus] Hey, don't let your deal go down No, don't let your deal go down No, don't let your deal go down 'Til your last gold dollar is gone [Post-Chorus] Ooh [Instrumental Break] [Outro] 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 Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh
