Lyrics Deal - Live at Barton Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 5/8/77 - Grateful Dead

Costs a lot to win, and even more to lose
You and me bound to spend some time just wonderin' what to choose

Goes to show, you don't ever know
Watch each card you play and play it slow
Wait until that deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down, no, no

I been gamblin' hereabouts for ten good solid years
If I told you all that went down it would burn off both of your ears

Goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play and play it slow
Wait until that deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down, no, no

Poured the wine for me tightened up my shoes
I hate to leave you sittin' there, composin' lonesome blues

Goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play and play it slow
Wait until that deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down, no no

Costs a lot to win, and even more to lose
You and me bound to spend some time just wonderin' what to choose
Goes to show, you don't ever know
Watch each card you play and please play it slow

Wait until that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down

Wait until that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down
