Текст песни The Deck Of Cards - Tex Ritter
During
the
North
African
champagne,
A
group
of
soldier
boys
had
been
on
a
long
hike
They
came
to
a
town
called
Cassino.
The
next
day,
being,
Sunday,
some
of
the
boys
went
to
church,
And
after
the
Chaplin
had
read
the
prayer,
The
text
was
taken
up
next.
Those
of
the
boys
who
had
a
prayer
books
took
them
out,
But,
this
one
boy
only
had
a
deck
of
cards,
And
so
he
spread
them
out.
The
Sargent
saw
the
cards
and
said
"Soldier,
put
away
those
cards."
After
the
services
were
over,
the
boy
was
taken
prisoner,
And
brought
before
the
Provost
Marshall
.
The
Marshall
said
"Sargent,
why
have
you
brought
this
man
here?"
"For
playing
cards
in
church
Sir."
"And
what
have
you
to
say
for
yourself
son?"
"Much
sir",
replied
the
soldier.
The
Marshall
said,"I
hope
so,
because
if
not,
I
shall
punish
you
more
than
any
man
was
ever
punished."
The
soldier
boy
said
"Sir
I
have
been
on
a
long
March
for
six
days
I
have
neither
Bible
nor
prayer
book,
But
I
hope
to
satisfy
you,
Sir,"
with
the
purity
of
my
intentions."
And
with
that
the
boy
begin
his
story.
"You
see
Sir,
When
I
look
at
the
ace
in
my
deck
of
Cards,
it
reminds
me
that
there
is
but
one
God,
And
the
deuce,
Tells
me
that
Bible
is
divided
into
Two
parts,
the
old
and
the
new
testament.
When
l
see
the
Trey,
I
think
of
father,
the
son
and
the
holy
ghost.
And
when
I
look
at
the
four,
I
think
of
four
evangelists
who
preached
the
gospel.
There
were
Matthew,
Mark,
Luke
and
John.
And
when
I
see
the
five,
It
reminds
me
of
the
five
wise
virgins,
who
trimmed
their
lamp,
There
were
ten
of
them,
Five
were
wise
and
were
saved,
five
were
foolish
and
were
shut
out.
When
I
look
at
the
six,
I
know
that
in
six
days,
God
made
this
great
heaven
and
earth.
And
the
seven,
tells
me
that
on
the
seventh
day,
He
rested
from
his
great
work,
And
called
it
holy.
And
when
I
see
the
eight,
I
think
of
the
eight
righteous
person,
God
saved
when
he
destroyed
this
earth.
There
were
none
Noah,
his
wife
their
three
sons
and
their
wives.
And
when
I
see
the
nine,
I
think
of
the
lepers
our
Savior
cleansed,
And
nine
of
the
ten,
didn′t
even
thank
him.
And
of
course
when
I
see
the
ten,
I
always
remembered
the
ten
commandments,
The
ten
commandments
that
God
handed
Down
to
Moses
on
a
tablets
of
stone.
When
I
see
the
King
Sir,
I
know
there
is
but
one
King
of
heaven.
God
the
Almighty.
And
when
I
see
the
Queen,
I
think
of
the
blessed
virgin
Mary,
The
Queen
of
heaven,
And
the
jack
of
knaves
is
the
devil.
When
I
count
the
spots
in
a
deck
of
cards,
I
find
365,
the
number
of
days
in
a
year.
There
are
52
cards,
the
number
of
weeks
in
a
year
.
There
are
thirteen
tricks,
the
number
of
weeks
in
a
quarter.
There
a
four
suits,
the
number
of
weeks
in
a
month.
And
twelve
picture
cards,
the
number
of
months
in
a
year.
So
you
see
Sir,
My
deck
of
cards
servers
me
not
only
as
a
Bible
or
almanacs,
but
also
a
prayer
book
.
