Ray Charles - The Cincinnati Kid lyrics

He came witht 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 the, the Cincinnati kid
