Cincinnati kid Songtext / Lyric

Cincinnati kid: Ray Charles

He came with the name Cincinnati,-
a kid with no ace in the hole.-
On a hot poker pot, Cincinnati,-
had staked his heart and soul.-

He played night and day like a demon,-
and prayed for that one lucky day.-
When the lush royal flush of his dreaming,-
is just a game away.-

Beyond all the green felt shadows,-
his own queen of hearts will wait,-
but till he's king of the green felt shadows,-
she'll wait and wait and wait.-

For sure as the cards will be falling,-
and chips in the pot he'll remain.-
For the book, 'Lady Luck', will be calling,-
whoah, the Cincinnati kid.-

I mean the Cincinnati kid,-
whoah, the Cincinnati kid,-
whoah, the Cincinnati kid.-
I'm talking about the Cincinnati kid.-
Everybody knows the Cincinnati kid,-
have you heard about that the Cincinnati kid....
