The King of Texas Hold ‘Em
© gary orphey
(Intro)
He’s the King of Texas hold ‘em
He knows how to play the game
(V1)
A high roller and a gambler
He flashes money and a smile,
If you think you can beat him
You’re living in denial
He knows how to play it cozy
He knows how to play it tough,
He knows how to place his bets
He’s the master of the bluff
(V2)
He walks with a swagger,
Wears a big gold diamond ring,
He’s good to everyone he meets
That’s why they call him King
He doesn’t wear sun glasses
He don’t pull his hat down low,
He’ll look you in the eye
So you that you will know....
(Chorus)
He’s the King of Texas hold ‘em
Knows how to play the game,
He has his woman beside him
Lady Luck is her name
(Instrumental Bridge / Midd;e Eight)
(V3)
Men call him a no good bandit
When he’s raking in the dough,
Women call him another name
They smile and call him Romeo
At night when the game is over
He’ll have a woman on each arm,
He’s a rambling man and a natural
A lady killer with serious charm
(V4)
He’s a rascal and he knows it
But it doesn’t slow him down,
Wherever the King travels
Women follow him around
If you wonder how he does it
When push comes to shove,
He plays the game of poker,
Like he plays the game of love
(Chorus)
He’s the King of Texas hold ‘em
Knows how to play the game,
He has his woman beside him
Lady Luck is her name
