lyrics

“Reverend Dan”

He’s a four-flushin’ gambler
Headin’ for the Creole Queen
Fast on the draw
And everything in between

With a handlebar stash
And a Deadman’s hat
He’s a New Orleans nightmare
And he likes it like that

Chorus:

Cheaters cheat in sheep’s clothing
Actions speak louder than words
But no one knows your heart of hearts
And who it is you serve

He’s a bad wheelr-dealer
And the worst of his kind
Best sleight of hand
But he’ll pay you no mind

With a pearl handle derringer
And a black heart of stone
He’s a bottom dealer
Drenched in cheap cologne

Cheaters cheat in sheep’s clothing
Actions speak louder than words
Turnin’ inside out, Turnin’ inside out is
often it is a curse

But when he died at eighty-two
With a full house hand
All paid respects to him
To witness firsthand

This four-flushin’ gambler
This bad wheeler-dealin’ man
Gave his winnin’s to charity
In his name, Reverend Dan

Cheaters cheat in sheep’s clothing
Actions speak louder than words
But no one knows your heart of hearts
And who it is you serve

Cheaters cheat in sheep’s clothing
Actions speak louder than words
Your epitaph isn’t written
Till you’ve ridden in a hearse

about

Marc Durandeau Miami, Florida

Wandering American roads, I'm a foreigner drawn to its people. As a singer-songwriter, the banjo's twang and steel guitar's cry bring solace. In the countryside, I've found home, where family stories intertwine. American folk music resonates deep within. Through my songs, I weave these tales into melodies that speak of peace, love, and the comfort of belonging. ... more
