mtdesmoines say-
“Ivey is a poker devil.
I don’t know what that means.
But if there is a poker devil, it’s Ivey.”
The devil logged into heads up, he was looking for some blinds to steal.
He was in a bind ‘cos he was way behind: he was willin’ to make a deal.
When he came across this young man playing on a table and playin’ it hot.
And the devil put on his poker face and said: “Boy let me tell you what:
“I bet you didn’t know it, but I’m a poker player too.
“And if you’d care to take a dare, I’ll make a bet with you.
“Now you play some pretty good poker, boy, but give the devil his due:
“I bet a stack of gold against your soul, ‘cos I think I’m better than you.”
The boy said: “My name’s durrrr and it might be a sin,
“But I’ll take your bet, your gonna regret, ‘cos I’m the best that’s ever been.”
durrrr you shuffle up your cards and play your monster draw.
‘Cos hells broke loose in Full Tilt and the devil deals it hard.
And if you win you get this shiny chip stack made of gold.
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul.
The devil opened up his cards and he said: “I’ll start this show.”
And fire flew from his fingertips as he made it a million to go.
As he fired the chips across the felt they made an evil hiss.
Then demons on the rail joined in and it sounded something like this.
When the devil finished, durrrr said: “Well you’re pretty good ol’ son.
“But if you’ll sit down in that chair, right there, and let me show you how its done.”
Fire a reraise into the pot, run boys, run.
The devil’s in the house of the risin’ sun.
durrrr just reloads, he doesn’t run out of dough.
“durrrr, does his bluff work?”
“No, child, no.”
The devil bowed his head because he knew that he’d been beat.
He laid that golden chip stack on the ground at durrrr’s feet.
durrrr said: “Devil just come on back if you ever want to try again.
“I told you once, you son of a bitch, I’m the best that’s ever been.”
Stolen and ruthlessly hacked to pieces from the Charlie Daniels band, sorry Charlie
