Daniel Johnston performing "Don't play cards with Satan" on organ

Lyrics:

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!

This is how you go from simply singing a song to *interpreting* it.

"I wrote this song in Texas." A very classy way to introduce a song.

If Van Gough was an artist today this is what we would see. Not truly recognised in his day.

The few ending notes after he held up the frog picture shows that in all of his pain Daniel STILL has a sense of humor. I guess laughter is pain medication.

I hate when people say he is bad musician based on his performances. He may not have the vocal ability of Robert Plant and he may not be able to play instruments very well, but the whole point of his music is that he is able to pour out his emotions. Not many people can write the poetry in the songs he writes that capture such pure human emotion we can all relate to. He is a great Songwriter for sure. He is sincere and this is his way of going on in a troubled life.
