Lyrics Daniel Johnston

Daniel Johnston

Don't Play Cards with Satan

Don't play cards with Satan

He'll deal you an awful hand

Don't play cards with Satan

He'll deal you an awful hand

(please believe me)

Did I ever stop and tell you

I am a desperate man

I thought I saw a bluebird

Sitting on a post

I thought I saw a bluebird

Sitting on a post

Shiver down my spine

I thought it was the Holy Ghost

I heard the word before

And I knew that it was good

I heard the word before

And I knew that it was good

Somebody oughta do

Like the good book should

I heard the voice of SATAN

Crying in the woods

I heard the voice of SATAN

Crying in the woods

I saw my own heart

Laying black with blood

Don't play cards with Satan

He'll deal you an awful hand

Don't play cards with Satan

He'll deal you an awful hand

(please believe me)

Did I ever stop and tell you

I am a desperate man

A desperate man

Take it

SATAN! SATAN! SATAN!
