Songtexte I'm Waiting For Ships That Never Come In - Jim Reeves
I′m
waiting
for
ships
that
never
come
in
I
wonder
where
they
can
be
Life
is
only
a
game
of
poker
And
happiness
is
the
pot
Fate
deals
you
five
cards
in
the
cradle
And
you
play
whether
you
like
it
or
not
Some
get
a
pat
hand
to
start
with
And
the
game
doesn't
seem
on
the
square
When
you
look
at
your
hand
and
discover
You
were
born
without
even
a
pair
But
there′s
no
use
in
kicking
or
squawking
Just
pick
up
your
cards
and
begin
To
figure
and
plan
and
puzzle
While
fate
looks
on
with
a
grin
Some
take
a
chance
at
bluffing
And
stake
everything
they've
got
On
a
little
dinky
little
four
flush
And
sometimes
it
wins
the
pot
Others
will
break
up
openers
To
draw
for
a
middle
straight
They
know
what
a
chance
they're
taking
And
they
learn
their
mistake,
too
late
Some
can′t
help
playing
crooked
Against
all
good
advice
But
they
seldom
get
away
with
it
And
in
the
end
they′ll
pay
the
price
The
most
of
us
play
straight
poker
But
I'll
tell
you
boys
it′s
hard
When
you're
there
with
both
ends
open
And
you
can′t
draw
the
winning
card
Now,
I've
always
been
a
loser
It
seems
that
I
never
can
win
And
I′m
just
a
dreamer
who's
waiting
For
ships
that
never
come
in
I
wonder
where
they
can
be
