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