The Cincinnati Kid - Ray Charles

He came witht the name Cincinnati\nA kid with no ace in the hole\nOn a hot poker pot, Cincinnati\nHad staked his heart and soul\nHe played night and day like a demon\nAnd prayed for that one lucky day\nWhen the lush royal flush of his dreaming\nIs just a game away\nBeyond all the green felt shadows\nHis own queen of hearts will wait\nBut till he’s king of the green felt shadows\nShe’ll wait, and wait, and wait\nFor sure as the cards will be falling\nAnd chips in the pot, he’ll remain\nFor the book Lady Luck will be calling\nWhoah, the Cincinnati kid\nI mean the Cincinnati kid\nWhoah, the Cincinnati kid\nWhoah, the Cincinnati kid\nI’m talking about the Cincinnati kid\nEverybody knows the Cincinnati kid\nHave you heard about the, the Cincinnati kid
