Now, she is a little queen of spades, and the men will not let her be
Mmm mmm, she is the little queen of spades, and the men will not let her be
Everytime she makes a spread, hoo, fair brown, cold chill just runs all over me

I'm gon' get me a gamblin' woman, if it's the last thing that I do
Eee hee eee, gon' get me a gamblin' woman, if it's the last thing that I do
Well, a man don't need a woman, hoo, fair brown, that he got to give all his money to

Everybody say she got a mojo, now, she's been usin' that stuff
Mmmm, mmmm, everybody says she got a mojo, 'cause she been usin' that stuff
But she got a way trimmin'1 down, hoo, fair brown, and I mean it's most too tough

Now little girl, since I am the king, baby, and you is a queen
Ooo eee, since I am the king baby, and you is a queen
Let's us put our heads together, hoo, fair brown, then we can make our money green

_________
Note 1: alternatively "tremblin' " instead of "trimmin' "
