Mickey White acoustic rhythm and lead guitars, harmony vocals

Rex Bell electric bass and harmony vocals

Andre Matthews electric rhythm, lead and slide guitars

Ira Wilkes drums

Mickey Moody pedal steel guitar

Malcolm Smith fiddle and viola

Can you relieve me, baby

Take your heart from your sleeve

And put it on the line,

Put it right here beside mine.

I can't seem to read you most of the time

Don't you know that I need you

Will you ever be mine

Love is a gamble,

I knew it from the start

Whoever's holding the cards, please deal me the King of Hearts

Please deal me the King of Hearts.

SOLO

If you came to my door

And you asked me for more I'd lay down beside you.

I'd never deny you.

And if I had lots of silver I'd give some to you

And if I had lots of gold I'd make a rich man of you.

Everytime I see you,

I want to fall in love again

I would like to free you, but you won't even let me in

You won't even let me in.

Can you relieve me, baby

Take your heart from your sleeve,

And put it on the line

Put it right here beside mine.

I can't seem to read you

Most of the time

Don't you know that I need you

Will you ever be mine Love is a gamble,

I knew it from the start.

Whoever's holding the cards, please deal me the King of Hearts,

Please deal me the King of Hearts

Lucinda Williams "Happy Woman Blues"
