《Deck Of Cards(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Deck Of Cards (Album Version) - Hank Williams (小汉克威廉斯)

[00:00:33] During the North African Campaign

[00:00:35] A bunch of soldier boys had been on a long hike

[00:00:39] They arrived in a little town called Casino

[00:00:44] The next day being Sunday

[00:00:46] Several of the boys went to church

[00:00:49] After the Chaplain read the prayer

[00:00:52] The text was taken up

[00:00:54] Those of the boys that

[00:00:56] Had a prayer book took them out

[00:00:58] One boy had only a deck of cards

[00:01:02] So he spread them out

[00:01:05] The sergeant who commanded the boy

[00:01:07] Saw the cards and said

[00:01:08] Soldier put away those cards

[00:01:12] After the service was over

[00:01:14] The soldier was taken prisoner

[00:01:16] And brought before the Provost Marshall

[00:01:19] The Marshall said

[00:01:20] Sergeant why have you brought this man here

[00:01:24] For playing cards in church Sir and

[00:01:26] What have you to say for yourself son

[00:01:30] Much Sir the soldier replied

[00:01:32] And the Marshall stated

[00:01:33] I hope so for if not I will punish you

[00:01:36] More than any man has ever been punished

[00:01:40] The soldier said you see Sir

[00:01:42] I have been on the march for six days

[00:01:46] I have neither bible nor a prayer book

[00:01:48] But I hope to satisfy you sir

[00:01:50] With the purity of my intentions

[00:01:55] You see sir when I look at the Ace

[00:01:57] It reminds me that there is but one God

[00:02:01] When I see the deuce reminds me

[00:02:03] That the bible is divided into two parts

[00:02:08] The Old and the New Testaments

[00:02:11] When I see the trey

[00:02:14] I think of the Father the Son and the Holy goast

[00:02:18] And when I see the four

[00:02:20] I think of the four evangelists

[00:02:22] Who preached the Gospel

[00:02:24] There was Matthew Mark Luke and John

[00:02:29] When I see the five

[00:02:30] It reminds me of the five wise virgins

[00:02:33] Who trimmed their lamps;

[00:02:35] There were ten of them

[00:02:37] Five were wise and were saved

[00:02:41] Five were foolish and were shut out

[00:02:44] When I see the six

[00:02:45] It reminds me that in six days

[00:02:48] God made this great heaven and earth

[00:02:51] And when I see the seven

[00:02:53] It reminds me that on the seventh day

[00:02:55] God rested

[00:02:58] When I see the eight

[00:02:59] I think of the eight righteous persons

[00:03:01] God saved when he destroyed the earth:

[00:03:04] There's Noah his wife their three sons and their wives

[00:03:09] And when I see the nine

[00:03:11] I think of the lepers our saviour cleansed

[00:03:14] And that nine of the ten didn't even thank him

[00:03:17] When I see the ten I think of the ten commandments

[00:03:20] God handed down to Moses on a tablet of stone

[00:03:25] When I see the King

[00:03:26] It reminds me once again

[00:03:28] There's but one King of Heaven God Almighty

[00:03:32] And when I see the Queen

[00:03:34] I think of the blessed Virgin Mary

[00:03:36] Who is the Queen of Heaven

[00:03:38] And the Jack or Knave is the Devil

[00:03:41] When I count the number of spots in a deck of cards

[00:03:44] I find 365 the number of days in a year

[00:03:50] There are 52 cards the number of weeks in a year

[00:03:54] There are 13 tricks the number of weeks in a quarter

[00:03:59] There are four suits the number of weeks in a month

[00:04:03] There are twelve picture cards

[00:04:05] The number of months in a year

[00:04:07] So you see Sir

[00:04:09] My deck of cards serves me as a bible

[00:04:14] An almanac and a prayer book

[00:04:18] And friends this story is true

[00:04:21] Because that soldier was me
