Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ride 'Em On Down (Eddie Taylor)
Here is, as far as I can make out, the lyrics to the Rolling Stones' version, from their 2016 "Blue & Lonesome" release:
Yeah! I'm a dealin' man, still dealin' yet. I'm gonna keep on dealin' till I find myself a bet. And I got to stop dealin', I believe I'll ride 'em on down. Well, I've done stopped dealin', I believe I'll ride 'em on down.
Yeah! Raised in the country, got a place in town, Got two kids and they all look like mine. And I got to stop dealin', I believe I'll ride 'em on down. Yeah, I've got to stop dealin', I believe I'll ride 'em on down.
Yeah! I'm dealin', darlin', bottom o' the deck. Seem like somebody gonna take my shit. Well, I got to stop dealin', I believe I'll ride 'em on down. Oh, I've done stopped dealin', I believe I'll ride 'em on down. Yeah!
Yeah ! Born yesterday and not a day before, And here you come a-knockin' at my door. And I've done stopped dealin', I believe I'll ride 'em on down. Oh, I done stopped dealin', I believe I'll ride 'em on down. Yeah!
Yeah, I've done stopped dealin', I believe I'll ride 'em on down.
Two live versions on Youtube (live Desert Trip, Indio, California, October 7, 2016 & Las Vegas, October 22, 2016) make the first line of the third verse more explicit: "Keep dealin', darlin', from the bottom of the deck" (a gambler dealing cards from the bottom of the deck of cards, of course)
