[Verse 1]
Been all around this wide wide world
Done most everything
Played cards with the King and the Queen
And the ace, and the deuce and the trey

[Chorus]
Don't let your deal go down, boy
Don't let your deal go down
Don't let your deal go down the drain
'Til my last gold dollar is gone

[Verse 2]
Where did you get
Those high buckle shoes
And the dress that you wear so fine?
Got my dress from an engineer
And my shoes from a driver in the mine

[Chorus]
Don't let your deal go down, boy
Don't let your deal go down
Don't let your deal go down the drain
'Til my last gold dollar is gone

[Verse 3]
You call me a bum
When I'm home with you
And it's bad man and tramp when I'm gone
But when I come over the hill
With a hundred-dollar bill
Then it's honey, where ya been so long?
[Chorus]
Don't let your deal go down, boy
Don't let your deal go down
Don't let your deal go down the drain
'Til my last gold dollar is gone
