Put it all on a piebald bowleg mare
She just backed off, put her tail up in the air
I hung my head in shame, there's just one sure thing
Gonna lose my queen to the sport of kings
There's only so much gambling you can do
Before the ones you love will say it's through
It's hard to love so blindly when she don't know where to find me
Gonna lose my queen to the sport of kings
Well it won't be long before she'll change the locks
You can always find love down at the docks
There's nothing you can do when it gets inside of you
Gonna lose my queen to the sport of kings
Well I've had money and I've lost it all before
I've always picked myself up off the floor
I don't let my spirits falter, I married a rich man's daughter
Gonna lose my queen to the sport of kings
Gonna lose my queen to the sport of kings
