Brian Hennesy - Bobby Bare[00:00:00]

Brian Hennessey sat back[00:00:03]

And let the gypsy read his palm[00:00:05]

When he saw her eyes grow wide and wild and dark[00:00:09]

And she whispered through her toothless gums[00:00:17]

And clutched him by the arm[00:00:20]

She said Boy I fear I see the devil's mark[00:00:23]

Brian Hennessey just laughed[00:00:30]

And pealed the ten spot from his roll[00:00:33]

Because he'd never ever known the taste of fear[00:00:37]

But he wondered why the summer nights should suddenly turn cold[00:00:44]

As the gypsy's words come ringing in his ear[00:00:51]

You can run you can hide Brian Hennessey she cried[00:00:58]

But you can't escape the fate that's in your hand[00:01:05]

And say how does it feel to have dealt your final deal[00:01:12]

Go on lay down Brian you're a dying man[00:01:18]

Brian Hennessey walked through the doors of the Dining Dog Saloon[00:01:28]

Where he stopped to have his nightly glass of gin[00:01:35]

And the one eyed scar faced[00:01:42]

Stranger a dealing blackjack in the gloom[00:01:45]

Winked his ghastly grey glass eye and dealt him in[00:01:49]

Brian watched in fascination as the stranger's fingers flew[00:01:56]

Why he'd never seen such cheating done before[00:02:03]

And his hand closed around a handle of his snub nose 32[00:02:09]

When the gypsy's warning come to him once more[00:02:16]

Oh you can run you can hide Brian Hennessey she cried[00:02:23]

But you can't escape the fate that's in your hand[00:02:30]

And say how does it feel to have dealt your final deal[00:02:37]

Go on lay down Brian you're a dying man[00:02:44]

Brian Hennessey just folded up his cards and walked away[00:02:54]

Holding back the rage that burned his soul[00:03:01]

And he stopped to have some coffee at the Mockingbird Cafe[00:03:08]

But that slender blue eyed waitress was his goal[00:03:14]

And a few words from his silver tongue[00:03:22]

Soon turned her flutty head[00:03:25]

She said My husband's out of town you need not fear[00:03:28]

But as he pressed her to the softness[00:03:34]

Of her flutty feathered bed[00:03:38]

On her pillows he saw written bright and clear[00:03:41]

Oh you can run you can hide daring letters clear and wide[00:03:48]

Said you can't escape the fate that's in your hand[00:03:55]

And say how does it feel to have dealt your final deal[00:04:02]

Go on lay down Brian you're a dying man[00:04:09]

Brian Hennessey he stumbled down the stairs into the street[00:04:16]

And from that day on he changed his wicked life[00:04:23]

And he never drunk or gambled and he never dealt no dough[00:04:29]

And he never touched another fellow's wife[00:04:36]

And years later he met the gypsy[00:04:44]

When his days were almost done[00:04:47]

He said Ha ha I beat your curse don't you know[00:04:50]

But when she saw the frightened trembling[00:04:57]

Withered wretch that he'd become[00:05:00]

She said Brian you died twenty years ago[00:05:03]

Because you ran and you hid that's exactly what you did[00:05:10]

But you didn't escape the fate that's in your hand[00:05:17]

And say how did it feel to have dealt your final deal[00:05:24]

Go on lay down Brian you're a dying man[00:05:31]
