Deck of Cards - Tex Ritter During a North African Campaign a bunch of soldier boys Had been on a long hike and they Arrived in a little town called Casino " The next morning being Sunday Several of the boys went to church A Sargent commanded the boys in church And after the Chaplain had read the Prayer the text was taken up next
Those of the boys who had a prayer book Took them out but this one boy Only had a deck of cards and so he spread Them out
The Sergeant saw the cards and said "Soldier put away those cards " After the services were over the soldier Was taken prisoner and brought Before the Provost Marshall The Marshall said "Sargent Why have you brought this man here " "For playing cards in church sir " "And what have you to say for yourself son " "Much sir " replied the soldier 'The Marshall said "I hope so for if not I shall punish you more than Any man was ever punished "
The soldier said "Sir I have been on a march for about six days And I had neither Bible nor Prayer Book But I hope to satisfy you Sir with the purity of my intentions " With that the boy started his story
"You see Sir when I look at the Ace it Reminds me that there is but one God
The deuce reminds me that the Bible is Divided into two parts; the Old and New Testaments
And when I see the trey I think of The Father Son and Holy Ghost
When I see the four I think of the Four evangelist who preached the Gospel
There was Matthew Mark Luke and John And when I see the five it reminds me Of the five wise virgins who trimmed their lamps
Ten of 'em; five who were wise and were saved; Five were foolish and were shut out
And when I see the six it Reminds me that in six days God made this great heaven and earth
And when I see the seven it reminds me that On the seventh day God rested from His Great work When I see the eight I think Of the eight righteous persons God saved When he destroyed this earth There was Noah His wife their three sons and their wives
And when I see the nine I think of the Lepers our Savior cleansed and nine of the ten Didn't even thank Him When I see the ten I think Of the Ten Commandments God handed down to Moses on a tablet of stone When I see the King It reminds me that there is but one King of Heaven God Almighty And when I see the queen I think Of the Blessed Virgin Mary who is Queen of Heaven
And the jacks or knaves it's the devil And when I count the number of spots on a deck of cards I find three hundred sixty-five The number of days in a year
Fifty-two cards the number of weeks in a year Thirteen tricks the number of weeks in a quarter Four suits the number of weeks in a month Twelve picture cards the number of months in a year
So you see Sir my pack of cards Serve me as a Bible almanac and prayer book "
