《I’m Waiting for Ships That Never Come In》歌词

[00:00:00] I'm waiting for ships that never come in I wonder where they can be

[00:00:19] Life is only a game of poker and happiness is the partner

[00:00:27] They deal you five cards in the cradle and you play with your like it or not

[00:00:36] Some game had a start with and the game doesn't seem on the square

[00:00:39] When you pick up your cards and discover you were born without even a pair

[00:00:45] But there's no use in kicking nor squawking

[00:00:48] Just pick up your cards and begin to figure in plan and puzzle

[00:00:54] While fate looks on with a grin

[00:00:59] Some take a chance on bluffing and stake everything gotthey've

[00:01:02] On a little yankee poor flush and sometimes that wins a plot

[00:01:08] Others will break up openers to draw for a middle straight

[00:01:14] They know the chance they're takin' and they learned your mistake too late

[00:01:20] Some can't plan crook it against all good advice

[00:01:25] But they seldom get away with it at the end they've paid the price

[00:01:37] The most of us play straight poker but I'll tell you boys it's hard

[00:01:44] When you're there with both ends open and you draw can't the winning card

[00:01:51] Now I've always been a loser it seems that I never can win

[00:01:58] Andr I'm just a dreamer who's waiting for ships that never come in

[00:02:03] I wonder where they can be
