He came witht the name Cincinnati A kid with no ace in the hole On a hot poker pot, Cincinnati Had staked his heart and soul
He played night and day like a demon And prayed for that one lucky day When the lush royal flush of his dreaming Is just a game away
Beyond all the green felt shadows His own queen of hearts will wait But till he´s king of the green felt shadows She´ll wait, and wait, and wait
For sure as the cards will be falling And chips in the pot, he´ll remain For the book Lady Luck will be calling Whoah, the Cincinnati kid I mean the Cincinnati kid Whoah, the Cincinnati kid Whoah, the Cincinnati kid I´m talking about the Cincinnati kid
Everybody knows the Cincinnati kid Have you heard about the, the Cincinnati kid
