"Turn the Cards Slowly" Lyrics

Written by Sammy Masters
(As released by Patsy Cline November 5, 1955)

Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'
Please don't double-deal to win my heart
Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'
Don't go breakin' rules right from the start

The ramblin', gamblin', reckless way
You treat my heart's a sin
Each night down on my knees I pray
Your gamblin' ways will end
Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'
And if you stack the deck, then I'll move on

{ Instrumental }

Now, Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'
Please don't double-deal to win my heart
Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'
Don't go breakin' rules right from the start

The ramblin', gamblin', reckless way
You treat my heart's a sin
Each night down on my knees I pray
Your gamblin' ways will end
Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'
And if you stack the deck, then I'll move on

{Instrumental }

Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin' 'em, darlin',
And if you stack the deck, then I'll move on...
