[Verse 1]
D     G      D
Come, gather round me boys
          G                      D
Won't you sit down and rest your bones
          D         G         D
Won't you pull up a chair and deal your cards
       E7                A7
Try to beat old George Devol

     G             D
I'll let you win a hand or two
                          A7
Then boys let me tell you true
      D       A7       D       G
Cause talent, blood, I play to win
        A7          D
You can bet I never lose


[Chorus]
      G                   D
And Devol is my name, and poker's my game
      A7                  D A7
Cincinnati down to Frisco Bay
     D               A7        D        G   G7
I've played and I've won every son of a gun
       D         A7    D
On the westbound Santa Fe

[Verse 2]
    D          G          D
I remember one time I was seein' a line
         G            D
It was a no-good jamboree
        D         G         D
And the table was cleared a dozen old times
     E7                    A7
Even though they was only three

          G                    D
But there was a young man from Boston town
                          A7
Lost five hundred dollars down
        D        A7        D          G
He said Mister Devol, I'll bet you my wife
       A7                     D
That I beat you the very next round.


[Verse 3]
     D  G       D
Well my being a gambling man
       G                      D
I said Boy I'm gonna take you on
D         G        D
Five card stud, it was his game
     E7         A7
Four aces I did draw

    G                      D
But little did I know that I had lost
                           A7
Long before the game had begun
          D            A7        D         G
Cause the woman was as mean as a razorback poke
           A7                D
She said Devol, your time is done


[Chorus]
      G                   D
And Devol is my name, and poker's my game
      A7                  D A7
Cincinnati down to Frisco Bay
     D               A7        D        G   G7
I've played and I've won every son of a gun
       D         A7    D
On the westbound Santa Fe

[Verse 4]
      D          G       D
Now I don't play for the good times, boys,
      G                  D
And I don't play for the crumbs
          D           G           D
There's a lot of good people have greenback dollars
         E7                     A7
That are weighing their pockets down

            G                 D
And they're riding this train looking for a man
                              A7
So poor that they give me the blues
           D        A7           D             G
I'm just a-hanging around for to lighten their load
       A7                    D
And to change their point of view


[Chorus]
      G                   D
And Devol is my name, and poker's my game
      A7                  D A7
Cincinnati down to Frisco Bay
     D               A7        D        G   G7
I've played and I've won every son of a gun
       D         A7    D
On the westbound Santa Fe


[Chorus]
      G                   D
And Devol is my name, and poker's my game
      A7                  D A7
Cincinnati down to Frisco Bay
     D               A7        D        G   G7
I've played and I've won every son of a gun
       D         A7    D
On the westbound Santa Fe
