One of my favorite DMB songs
Of course there's the original version they weren't allowed to record but play live.
This seems like a bit of a soapbox. Do you have a favorite version you would prefer be linked? Yes, live versions are what the true fans prefer.
That's a great song, too. I wanted to share that one as well, but the rules said share one song.He sure has! A degen's degen. That's a great one to listen to after rough game. This one is a little more optimistic. Listen to it on the way to the game
Audio quality on this one isn't great, but you'll get the idea.
Well, I guess I really oughta' be makin'
Up songs but all I wanna do is play cards
I know it's dumb and sick and wrong but all I wanna do is play cards
I got the studio booked in Tennessee
And my record producer's callin' me
The tape will roll in just three weeks, and all I wanna do is play cards
They wanna book the band for a rodeo dance, and all I wanna do is play cards
The contract claims they got five grand, but all I wanna do is play cards
My agent says we oughta take the show
But to tell you the truth I don't wanna go
There's a real good game of split high-low, and all I wanna do is play cards
Crib and guts and stook and gin and stud and cowboy pitch
Blackjack, eight or better, hold 'em, draw, and chase the bitch
Acey deucy, never loosey, hearts and black mariah
Smear and low Chicago, man, the stakes keep gettin' higher
Well, I could skate for free in the hockey league, but all I wanna do is play cards
Tattooed young dark haired girls call me, and all I wanna do is play cards
There's famous people'd like to write with me
And the beer at the Black Dog's usually free
The whole damn world's an oyster to me, and all I wanna do is play cards
We're on the radio in El Paso, and all I wanna do is play cards
Finally got a little bit of press and T.O., and all I wanna do is play cards
They're buying the records out in Amsterdam
There's rock tours booked in far-off lands
But I'm feelin' kinda gambley, and all I wanna do is play cards
Crib and guts and stook and gin and stud and racehorse pitch
Blackjack, eight or better, hold 'em, draw, and chase the bitch
Acey deucy, never loosey, hearts and black mariah
Smear and low Chicago, man, the stakes keep gettin' higher
Get on, boys!
I don't see much of my friends these days 'cause all I wanna do is play cards
Except Whitey and Gravy
They like a game, and all I wanna do is play cards
My neighbor Brent says I got a problem
But he don't know 'cause nobody taught him
To bet the best when you know you got 'em
And all I wanna do is play cards
Crib and guts and stook and gin and stud and cowboy pitch
Blackjack, eight or better, hold 'em, draw, and chase the bitch
Acey deucy, never loosey, hearts and black mariah
Smear and low Chicago, man, the stakes keep gettin' higher
Contract bridge and spades and whist and kings; little ones!
Canasta, hearts and spite and malice, kings; make little ones!
Whores and fours and one-eyed bores,
House rules that ain't acknowledged
And them games you learned at vet school and at agriculture college
Chinese rummy, Greek manila, Omaha, Dutch chase
Start 'em when they're young with fish and war and crazy eights
Twenty-one and thirty-one and seven twenty seven
Well if I don't play for money, hon, will I still get to heaven?
Three card brag, three card monte, razz and deuce to seven
Melding sets and red dog bets and counting cards with Kevin
Between the sheets and screw your neighbor, let it ride, strip poker
Old man on the corner, playin' pinochle with your girl, hey!
But Corb Lund is one of my favorites. Such a great songwriter and storyteller.He sure has! A degen's degen. That's a great one to listen to after rough game. This one is a little more optimistic. Listen to it on the way to the game

No rules lol....just a suggestionThat's a great song, too. I wanted to share that one as well, but the rules said share one song.
I didn't take it too seriously. I would have added later if someone else didn't.
On the night after Eddie Vedder wrote the song “Gone,” Eddie sang “Atlantic City” solo, as a warm up for the Pearl Jam show. That was clearly my biggest regret of missing a concert.
When asked what my favorite dead album is I say 2/26/77 or 9/26/91 . To me each show is an album. The studio stuff gets no play in my world.
I love counting my money, when I'm sitting at the table
