smile low and blissfully

Well the wicked king of clubs awokeAnd it was to his queen turnedHis lips were laughing as they spokeHis eyes like bullets burnedThe sun's upon a gambling dayHis queen smiled low and blissfullyLet's make some wretched fool to playPlain it was she did agreeHe send his deuce down into diamondHis four to hart, and his trey to spadeThree kings with their legions comePreparations soon where madeThey voted club the days commanderGave him an army face and numberAll but the outlaw jack of diamondsAnd the aces in the skyWell, he gave his sevens first instructionsSpirit me a game of studStakes unscarred by limitationBetween a man named Gold and man named MudClub filled Gold with greedy vaporsTill his long, green eyes did glowAnd Mud was left with the sighs and tremblesWatching his hard earned money goFlushes fell on Gold like waterTens they paired and paired againBut the aces only flew through heavenAnd the diamond jack called no man friendNow, the Diamond Queen saw Muds ordealBegan to think of her long lost sonFell to her knees with a mother's mercyAnd prayed to the angels every oneNow, the Diamond Queen, she prayed and prayedAnd the Diamond Angel filled Muds holeThe wicked King of Clubs himselfFell in face down in front of GoldNow, three kings come to Clubs commandBut the angels from the sky did rideThree kings up on the streets of GoldThree fireballs on the muddy sideThe club queen heard her husband's callBut Lord, that Queen of Diamond's joyWhen the outlaw in the heavenly hallTurned out to be a wandering boyNow, Mud he checked and Gold bet allAnd Mud he raised and Gold did callAnd the smile just melted on his faceWhen Mud turned over that diamond aceNow, here's what this story's toldIf you feel like Mud you'll end up GoldIf you feel like lost, you'll end up foundSo amigo, lay them raises down

I first heard this song in the movie Seven Psychopaths, anyone see  that? So actually, the song must have to  do with a shitz zu, like the little dog. I  think Townes was ahead of his time, anticipating  that movie

richard shears

heard it on the motel life with dakota fanning

dan smith

townes was heard remarking that this song came to him "in a flash," and that he wasn't writing it, but rather a "giant pencil in the sky." what a brilliant, humble man.
