A gypsy woman, she told me
To let them women be
She said, "A man's your best friend"
I said, "Are you tellin' me?"

I done got wise to the way you women do
You've been tryin' to trick me, baby
But yeah, the tricks have turned on you

I don't know whether my woman was jokin'
Or what she tryin' to do
I done pulled the right card
And I'm paid just like you

I done got wise to the way you women do
You've been tryin' to trick me, baby
But yeah, the tricks have turned on you

When I used to come from work
You had four or five cousins around
I got me a cousin
Since I come to town

I done got wise to the way you women do
You've been tryin' to trick me, baby
But yeah, the tricks have turned on you
There's fifty-two cards in the deck
I want you to deal me ten
If you can gamble with the women
I'm gonna gamble with the men

I done got wise to the way you women do
You've been tryin' to trick me, darling
But yeah, the tricks have turned on you
