The Most Low-Stakes Poker Game I Have Ever Witnessed, Dramatized

June 10th, 2009  |  published in Nouns: People, Places, Things.


San Diego, California. July 10, 2009.

If I had a gun for every ace I have drawn / I could arm a town the size of Abilene. / Don’t you push me baby, ‘Cause I’m all alone / And you know I’m only in it for the gold.

All that I am asking is for ten gold dollars / And I could pay you back with one good hand. / You can look around about the wide world over / And you’ll never find another honest man.

Last fair deal in the country / Last fair deal in the town. / Put your gold dollars where your love is baby, / Before I let my deal go down.

Excerpted from the lyrics to ‘Loser’ as written by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter of the Grateful Dead, later covered by Cracker on their album Kerosene Hat.
