Brian Hennesy - Bobby Bare
Brian Hennessey sat back
And let the gypsy read his palm
When he saw her eyes grow wide and wild and dark

And she whispered through her toothless gums
And clutched him by the arm
She said Boy I fear I see the devil's mark

Brian Hennessey just laughed
And pealed the ten spot from his roll

Because he'd never ever known the taste of fear

But he wondered why the summer nights should suddenly turn cold

As the gypsy's words come ringing in his ear

You can run you can hide Brian Hennessey she cried

But you can't escape the fate that's in your hand

And say how does it feel to have dealt your final deal
Go on lay down Brian you're a dying man

Brian Hennessey walked through the doors of the Dining Dog Saloon

Where he stopped to have his nightly glass of gin

And the one eyed scar faced
Stranger a dealing blackjack in the gloom

Winked his ghastly grey glass eye and dealt him in

Brian watched in fascination as the stranger's fingers flew

Why he'd never seen such cheating done before

And his hand closed around a handle of his snub nose 32

When the gypsy's warning come to him once more

Oh you can run you can hide Brian Hennessey she cried
But you can't escape the fate that's in your hand

And say how does it feel to have dealt your final deal

Go on lay down Brian you're a dying man

Brian Hennessey just folded up his cards and walked away

Holding back the rage that burned his soul

And he stopped to have some coffee at the Mockingbird Cafe

But that slender blue eyed waitress was his goal

And a few words from his silver tongue
Soon turned her flutty head

She said My husband's out of town you need not fear

But as he pressed her to the softness
Of her flutty feathered bed

On her pillows he saw written bright and clear

Oh you can run you can hide daring letters clear and wide

Said you can't escape the fate that's in your hand

And say how does it feel to have dealt your final deal
Go on lay down Brian you're a dying man

Brian Hennessey he stumbled down the stairs into the street

And from that day on he changed his wicked life

And he never drunk or gambled and he never dealt no dough

And he never touched another fellow's wife

And years later he met the gypsy
When his days were almost done

He said Ha ha I beat your curse don't you know

But when she saw the frightened trembling
Withered wretch that he'd become

She said Brian you died twenty years ago

Because you ran and you hid that's exactly what you did
But you didn't escape the fate that's in your hand

And say how did it feel to have dealt your final deal
Go on lay down Brian you're a dying man
