Verse
C F
Brian Hennessey sat back and let the gypsy read his palm
G C
When he saw her eyes grow wide and wild and dark
F
And she whispered through her toothless gums and clutched him by the arm
G C
She said, ''Boy, I fear I see the devil's mark.''
C G C
Brian Hennessey just laughed and pealed the ten-spot from his roll
G
'Cause he'd never ever known the taste of fear
C F
But he wondered why the summer nights should suddenly turn cold
G C
As the gypsy's words come ringing in his ear.
[Chorus]
C F C
''You can run, you can hide, Brian Hennessey.'', she cried
G
''But you can't escape the fate that's in your hand.
C F
And say how does it feel to have dealt your final deal?
G C
Go on lay down Brian you're a dying man.''
[Verse]
C F
Brian Hennessey walked through the doors of the Dining Dog Saloon
G C
Where he stopped to have his nightly glass of gin
F
And the one-eyed scar-faced stranger a dealing blackjack in the gloom
G C
Winked his ghastly grey glass eye and dealt him in.
C G C
Brian watched in fascination as the stranger's fingers flew
G
Why he'd never seen such cheatin' done before
C F
And his hand closed round a handle of his snub-nose 32
G C
When the gypsy's warning come to him once more.
[Chorus]
C F C
''You can run, you can hide, Brian Hennessey.'', she cried
G
''But you can't escape the fate that's in your hand.
C F
And say how does it feel to have dealt your final deal?
G C
Go on lay down Brian you're a dying man.''
[Verse]
C F
Brian Hennessey just folded up his cards and walked away
G C
Holding back the rage that burned his soul
F
And he stopped to have some coffee at the Mockingbird Cafe
G C
But that slender blue eyed waitress was his goal.
G C
And a few words from his silver tongue soon turned her flighty head
G
She said, ''My husband's out of town, you need not fear.''
C F
But as he pressed her to the softness of her flutty-feathered bed
G C
On her pillows he saw written bright and clear.
[Chorus]
C F C
Oh, you can run, you can hide, daring letters clear and wide
G
Said you can't escape the fate that's in your hand
C F
And say how does it feel to have dealt your final deal
G C
Go on lay down Brian you're a dying man.
[Verse]
C F
Brian Hennessey he stumbled down the stairs into the street
G C
And from that day on he changed his wicked life
F
And he never drunk or gambled and he never dealt no doop
G C
And he never touched another fellow's wife.
G C
And years later he met the gypsy when his days were almost done
G
He said, ''Ha, ha, I beat your curse don't you know.''
C F
But when she saw the frightened, trembling, withered wretch that he'd become
G C
She said, ''Brian, you died twenty years ago.''
[Chorus/Outro]
F C
''Because you ran and you hid that's exactly what you did
G
But you didn't escape the fate that's in your hand.
F
And say how did it feel to have dealt your final deal?
G C
Go on lay down Brian you're a dying man...''
