Aces, straights and flushes, that's the game my daddy played
If the gambling went ‘til mornin’, that's how late my daddy stayed
He brought shoes for all us kids with the money that he made
And aces, straights and flushes, that's the game my daddy played
Some say my daddy was a good-for-nothing man
But he'd come home each mornin’ with the money in his hand
There was chicken on the table and the rent was always paid
From those aces, straights and flushes, the game my daddy played
Aces, straights and flushes, that's the game my daddy played
If the gamblin’ went ‘til mornin’, that's how late my daddy stayed
He bought shoes for all us kids with the money that he made
And aces, straights and flushes, that's the game my daddy played
Now mama, she ran off with some fast-talkin man
And daddy he took to gamblin’ just to feed our little clan
Sometimes it was blackjack, sometimes seven stud
But aces, straights, and flushes Lord, they ran in daddy's blood
Aces, straights and flushes, that's the game my daddy played
If the gamblin’ went ‘til mornin’, that's how late my daddy stayed
He bought shoes for all us kids with the money that he made
Those aces, straights and flushes, that's the game my daddy played
And then came the time my daddy played his biggest game
For the love of a woman and the honour of her name
When the smoke had cleared and the cards had all been played
My daddy gave up gamblin’ and took up the trombone
Aces, straights and flushes, that's the game my daddy played
If the gamblin’ went ‘til mornin’, that's how late my daddy stayed
He bought shoes for all us kids with the money that he made
And those aces, straights and flushes, that's the game my daddy played
