Testo Spade

I'm calling a spade
My mind has done been made
That's what the man he said
Then he threw his money down and then passed the cards around
This weren't no children's game

He said his name was just a passing thing
While I looked at him confused But I soon knew what he meant
With his revolver spent
On everything but me

Just then he laughed and handed me a bag
Said, "Could you fill it for me, please?"
Then we rode all night long through the dark until the dawn
Before we finally took our rest

Said he'd come in from Galveston
That troubled city by the gulf
He said, "I knew your sister well, so when I saw you I could tell
By that ribbon on your sleeve"

I'm sorry to say your sister's passed away I've seen it with my own two eyes
And those same evil men, who killed my closest kin
They were sitting there by you

Listen to me, life is misery
Trouble's always on the way
And if I were you, I know what I'd do
Because they're sure to call a spade
