  I’m looking for the last, the last pharaoh

  When night falls on the land

  I’m looking for the last, the last pharaoh

  I’m gonna lay him down if I can

   

  I thought I heard that big, that big Kate Adams

  I thought I heard a whistle blow

  I thought I heard that big, that big Kate Adams

  Puffing down to Mexico

   

  Chorus

   

  I don’t need a chicken, a chicken in the pot

  Or a woman in my own back yard

  I don’t need a chicken, chicken, chicken in the pot

  The way I need the next high card

   

  Chorus

   

  Yes I am.

   

  Lady luck makes the kings, the Natchez kings

  The kings of Natchez and below

  She makes the kings of Natchez and below

  And lady luck’s with me, I know

   

  Chorus

  I’m gonna lay him down, yes I am
