Deck of Cards - Jan Howard/Hank Locklin/Johnny Horton[00:00:00]

During a North African[00:00:20]

Campaign a bunch of soldier boys[00:00:21]

Had been on a long hike and they[00:00:23]

Arrived in a little town called[00:00:25]

Casino "[00:00:26]

The next morning being Sunday[00:00:27]

Several of the boys went to church A[00:00:28]

Sargent commanded the boys in church [00:00:31]

And after the Chaplain had read the[00:00:33]

Prayer the text was taken up next [00:00:34]

Those of the boys who had a prayer book[00:00:36]

Took them out but this one boy[00:00:38]

Only had a deck of cards and so he spread[00:00:40]

Them out [00:00:43]

The Sergeant saw the cards and said [00:00:44]

"Soldier put away those cards "[00:00:46]

After the services were over the soldier[00:00:48]

Was taken prisoner and brought[00:00:50]

Before the Provost Marshall [00:00:51]

The Marshall said "Sargent [00:00:53]

Why have you brought this man here "[00:00:54]

"For playing cards in church sir "[00:00:57]

"And what have you to say for yourself son "[00:00:59]

"Much sir " replied the soldier [00:01:01]

'The Marshall said "I hope so for if not [00:01:03]

I shall punish you more than[00:01:06]

Any man was ever punished "[00:01:07]

The soldier said "Sir [00:01:09]

I have been on a march for about six days [00:01:10]

And I had neither Bible nor Prayer Book [00:01:12]

But I hope to satisfy you [00:01:14]

Sir with the purity of my intentions "[00:01:16]

With that the boy started his story [00:01:18]

"You see Sir when I look at the Ace it[00:01:22]

Reminds me that there is but one God [00:01:24]

The deuce reminds me that the Bible is[00:01:26]

Divided into two parts; the Old and New Testaments [00:01:28]

And when I see the trey I think of[00:01:32]

The Father Son and Holy Ghost [00:01:34]

When I see the four I think of the[00:01:37]

Four evangelist who preached the Gospel [00:01:39]

There was Matthew Mark Luke and John [00:01:41]

And when I see the five it reminds me[00:01:43]

Of the five wise virgins who trimmed their lamps [00:01:45]

Ten of 'em; five who were wise and were saved;[00:01:48]

Five were foolish and were shut out [00:01:52]

And when I see the six it[00:01:55]

Reminds me that in six days[00:01:56]

God made this great heaven and earth [00:01:58]

And when[00:02:01]

I see the seven it reminds me that[00:02:01]

On the seventh day God rested from His[00:02:03]

Great work When I see the eight I think[00:02:05]

Of the eight righteous persons God saved[00:02:08]

When he destroyed this earth There was Noah [00:02:10]

His wife their three sons and their wives [00:02:13]

And when I see the nine I think of the[00:02:16]

Lepers our Savior cleansed and nine of the ten[00:02:18]

Didn't even thank Him When I see the ten I think[00:02:21]

Of the Ten Commandments God handed down to[00:02:24]

Moses on a tablet of stone When I see the King[00:02:26]

It reminds me that there is but one King of Heaven [00:02:29]

God Almighty And when I see the queen I think[00:02:32]

Of the Blessed Virgin Mary who is Queen of Heaven [00:02:36]

And the jacks or knaves it's the devil And when[00:02:39]

I count the number of spots on a deck of cards[00:02:41]

I find three hundred sixty-five[00:02:43]

The number of days in a year [00:02:45]

Fifty-two cards the number of weeks in a year [00:02:48]

Thirteen tricks the number of weeks in a quarter [00:02:51]

Four suits the number of weeks in a month [00:02:53]

Twelve picture cards the number of months in a year [00:02:57]

So you see Sir my pack of cards[00:03:00]

Serve me as a Bible almanac and prayer book "[00:03:02]
