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

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

Well¹ everybody say she got a mojo, baby, you've been usin' that stuff
Hmm hmm hmm, everybody say she got a mojo, 'cause she been usin' that stuff
She got a way trimmin'² down, hoo we', babe, and I mean it's most too tough

Well, well, little girl, since I am the king, fair brown, and you is a queen
Hoo ooh ooe, since I am the king, baby, and you is a queen
Let's we put our heads together, hoo, fair brown, then we can make our money green
