King of My Love

Lyrics

[Chorus] I'll be the queen of your heart, dear You'll be the king of my love I'll deal through that whole deck to find you And you'll wait for my time to come [Verse 1] I've lived a lone life dear without you I played a lone hand all the way I ached when I lost, I pretended to laugh But I felt more like crying these days Since you came and stood there beside me And told me my best way to play Your hand touched mine and the sunshine did shine And we left that whole card house next day [Chorus] I'll be the queen of your heart, dear You'll be the king of my love I'll deal through that whole deck to find you You'll wait for my time to come [Verse 2] Rough Jack didn't like you to help me He would kill you if you left with me Jack's two forty fours drilled round that door As we backed hand in hand to the street Jack turned his last slug on his own self Pitched down on that sawdusty floor That's why you're the king, you're the king of my love That's why I trust cards nevermore [Chorus] I'll be the queen of your heart, dear You'll be the king of my love I'll deal through that whole deck to find you You'll wait for my time to come [Verse 3] I tossed off my card house costume And I slipped on my sweet cotton dress You're king of our house here, my darling No turn of a card hand can wreck You're king of my big sunny smile now You're king of my red rosy cheeks And I'm queen of this cradle that rocks here No joker can steal me away [Chorus] I'll be the queen of your heart, dear You'll be the king of my love I'll deal through that whole deck to find you You'll wait for my time to come I'll be the queen of your heart, dear You'll be the king of my love I'll deal through that whole deck to find you You'll wait for my time to come You'll wait for my time to come You'll wait for my time to come You'll wait for my time to come
