Lyrics:

A silver-tongued lying cheating man
Known all over town for his slight of hand
Deceitful right down to his bones
Here lies the gambler Levi Jones

A cowboy rode in with his summer pay
Levi started walking the cowpoke’s way
Drew him right into a game of cards
When he took that boy’s money he went too far

Levi Jones was a gamblin’ man
Steely eyes and steady hand
The biggest hustler ever walked across this land
He’ll take your money if he can
Levi Jones a stone cold gambling man

Levi had a straight and bet it all
Laughed as he let his five cards fall
Cowboy stood up and pulled his knife
Levi won the game but lost his life

Levi Jones was a gamblin’ man
Steely eyes and steady hand
The biggest hustler ever walked across this land
He’ll take your money if he can
Levi Jones a stone cold gambling man

Everybody’s got more money than they had before
‘Cause ole Levi don’t play cards anymore
Laying in the ground underneath a stone
(That reads) here lies the gambler Levi Jones

Levi Jones was a gamblin’ man
Steely eyes and steady hand
The biggest hustler ever walked across this land
He’ll take your money if he can
Levi Jones a stone cold gambling man
