READ ‘EM AND WEEP
Copyright Kathy Murray and David Murray 1995

Key of A
VERSE I
A
You know you’re a shark

The way you play after dark

You say your bite is even

Worse than your bark

You’re on a roll now

Finished paying dues

You’ve been snoozing baby

And this time you gonna lose

CHORUS
D
Read ‘em and weep baby
A
The king of hearts is in my hand
E D
Read ‘em and weep honey
A
This time I’ve drawn a better man

VERSE II
Your story always changes

Though one thing remains the same

It’s not your fault

You are never to blame

You starting to flush now

Getting red around the neck

You’re giving me a bad deal

You ain’t playing with a full deck

CHORUS

SOLO

VERSE III
I know you’re holding Jacks

The way you jacking me around

And that ace up your sleeve

You think it’ll keep me down

You’ve cheated and you lied

Because you’re a no good man

One thing you can’t deny

It’s time to show your hand

CHORUS

REPEAT
This time I’ve drawn a better man,
ooh I’ve drawn a better man
…”I’m throwing you back into the pot”
