Lyrics: Stephen Stills. Black Queen.

This is a song about a card game

Black queen, holding hearts
Black queen, tear the game apart
Black queen, don't you know?
Can't beat aces all in a row
Black queen, no you can't

Have mercy black queen
Don't you go mess with the black queen, no

Black queen, see the whole hand
Black queen, where's your black man?
Black queen, if he ain't in the hole

Black queen, you got some more to show me black queen

Oh, get on me black queen
Oh, Lord have mercy, black queen
She's called to beat me clean

Black queen, where's your bankroll?
Black queen, where did it go?
Black queen, the truth is hard
Black queen, you're playin' foolish cards, black queen
