| [00:08.54] | I walked to school on Monday and when I stepped in the door |
| [00:12.69] | the other girls were gathered in a circle on the floor |
| [00:16.98] | Their slates and books were resting, dejected upon their desks |
| [00:20.63] | Their skirts bloomed out around them like the late spring tulips |
| [00:24.37] | Their skirts bloomed out around them like the late spring tulips |
| [00:28.89] | Henrietta glanced up and called to come and see |
| [00:33.27] | Peering round the ponytails all was revealed to me |
| [00:37.16] | A shinny deck of playing cards strewn upon the ground |
| [00:41.54] | Hastily we snatched them up as the bell began to sound |
| [00:45.28] | Hastily we snatched them up as the bell began to sound |
| [00:50.25] | |
| [00:58.63] | When the lessons ended we lingered in the street |
| [01:03.25] | Counted up and made sure that the whole deck was complete |
| [01:07.11] | Then Henrietta handed the entire lot to me |
| [01:10.41] | She said, Annabelle, tonight, keeper of the cards you'll be |
| [01:14.92] | She said, Annabelle, tonight, will you keep them safe for me |
| [01:18.50] | When I got home I snuck into my room and shut the door |
| [01:23.06] | I knew I should be stealthy, still I spread them on the floor |
| [01:27.00] | Red and black and yellow, green, blue, purple, and white |
| [01:30.80] | The faces of the kings and queens brought colorfully to life |
| [01:34.53] | The hard faces of royalty brought colorfully to life |
| [01:40.78] | |
| [01:59.47] | I didn't hear my mother until it was too late |
| [02:04.57] | Like a storm out of the southwest, she blew in and she raged |
| [02:08.61] | Before I knew what hit me all the cards were in her hands |
| [02:12.15] | She was screaming at the Devil as to the kitchen fire she ran |
| [02:16.00] | She was screaming at the Devil as to the kitchen fire she ran |
| [02:20.74] | Hot on her heels in horror, I knelt before the flames |
| [02:24.38] | Where the beauty of each number was burned into my brain |
| [02:28.38] | With my hands deep in my pockets, my teary eyes cast down |
| [02:32.32] | My mother learned me all the places Satan can be found |
| [02:35.96] | My mother learned me all the places Satan can be found |
| [02:41.99] | |
| [03:03.28] | She said, Though it may seem harmless, a game of cards can lead |
| [03:07.39] | To greed and lust and whiskey, even infidelity |
| [03:10.82] | She made me swear to never hold the Devil's deck again |
| [03:15.04] | But I've still got the Jack of Diamonds underneath my bed |
| [03:19.12] | Yeah, I've still got the Jack of Diamonds underneath my bed |
| [03:22.77] | I've still got the Jack of Diamonds underneath my bed |
| [03:26.75] | I've still got the Jack of Diamonds underneath my bed |
| [03:31.09] | I've still got the Jack of Diamonds underneath my bed |
| [03:40.22] |
