Deck Of Cards (Album Version) - Hank Williams (小汉克威廉斯)[00:00:00]

During the North African Campaign [00:00:33]

A bunch of soldier boys had been on a long hike [00:00:35]

They arrived in a little town called Casino [00:00:39]

The next day being Sunday [00:00:44]

Several of the boys went to church [00:00:46]

After the Chaplain read the prayer [00:00:49]

The text was taken up[00:00:52]

Those of the boys that[00:00:54]

Had a prayer book took them out [00:00:56]

One boy had only a deck of cards [00:00:58]

So he spread them out [00:01:02]

The sergeant who commanded the boy[00:01:05]

Saw the cards and said [00:01:07]

Soldier put away those cards [00:01:08]

After the service was over [00:01:12]

The soldier was taken prisoner[00:01:14]

And brought before the Provost Marshall [00:01:16]

The Marshall said [00:01:19]

Sergeant why have you brought this man here [00:01:20]

For playing cards in church Sir and[00:01:24]

What have you to say for yourself son [00:01:26]

Much Sir the soldier replied[00:01:30]

And the Marshall stated [00:01:32]

I hope so for if not I will punish you[00:01:33]

More than any man has ever been punished [00:01:36]

The soldier said you see Sir [00:01:40]

I have been on the march for six days[00:01:42]

I have neither bible nor a prayer book [00:01:46]

But I hope to satisfy you sir [00:01:48]

With the purity of my intentions [00:01:50]

You see sir when I look at the Ace [00:01:55]

It reminds me that there is but one God [00:01:57]

When I see the deuce reminds me[00:02:01]

That the bible is divided into two parts[00:02:03]

The Old and the New Testaments [00:02:08]

When I see the trey [00:02:11]

I think of the Father the Son and the Holy goast[00:02:14]

And when I see the four [00:02:18]

I think of the four evangelists[00:02:20]

Who preached the Gospel[00:02:22]

There was Matthew Mark Luke and John [00:02:24]

When I see the five [00:02:29]

It reminds me of the five wise virgins[00:02:30]

Who trimmed their lamps;[00:02:33]

There were ten of them[00:02:35]

Five were wise and were saved [00:02:37]

Five were foolish and were shut out [00:02:41]

When I see the six [00:02:44]

It reminds me that in six days[00:02:45]

God made this great heaven and earth [00:02:48]

And when I see the seven [00:02:51]

It reminds me that on the seventh day [00:02:53]

God rested[00:02:55]

When I see the eight [00:02:58]

I think of the eight righteous persons[00:02:59]

God saved when he destroyed the earth:[00:03:01]

There's Noah his wife their three sons and their wives [00:03:04]

And when I see the nine [00:03:09]

I think of the lepers our saviour cleansed [00:03:11]

And that nine of the ten didn't even thank him [00:03:14]

When I see the ten I think of the ten commandments[00:03:17]

God handed down to Moses on a tablet of stone [00:03:20]

When I see the King [00:03:25]

It reminds me once again[00:03:26]

There's but one King of Heaven God Almighty [00:03:28]

And when I see the Queen [00:03:32]

I think of the blessed Virgin Mary[00:03:34]

Who is the Queen of Heaven [00:03:36]

And the Jack or Knave is the Devil [00:03:38]

When I count the number of spots in a deck of cards [00:03:41]

I find 365 the number of days in a year [00:03:44]

There are 52 cards the number of weeks in a year [00:03:50]

There are 13 tricks the number of weeks in a quarter[00:03:54]

There are four suits the number of weeks in a month [00:03:59]

There are twelve picture cards [00:04:03]

The number of months in a year [00:04:05]

So you see Sir [00:04:07]

My deck of cards serves me as a bible [00:04:09]

An almanac and a prayer book [00:04:14]

And friends this story is true[00:04:18]

Because that soldier was me[00:04:21]
