G They ain't dealin' blackjack down at Stockmen's in Nevada anymore A D And they'd wanna pay you six to five and that ain't hardly worth playin' for G All's I seen was slot machines from wall to wall the whole casino floor A D Nobody hittin' seventeen playin' against the dealer that's for sure [Interlude] D G A D [Verse 4] G Mi amigo, mon ami A D Elko blues, indeed G You know we did the best we could A D But the shine was off the wood [Verse 5] G We played up most all of your songs A D But with you and Don and Baxter gone G That sure leaves some boots to fill A D And I'm not sure we ever will [Verse 6] G But on a slightly brighter side A D The Outside Circle guys G They're still tearin' up the Star A D And Capriola's ain't that far [Chorus] N.C. G They ain't dealin' blackjack down at Stockmen's in Nevada anymore A D And they'd wanna pay you six to five and that ain't hardly worth playin' for G All's I seen was slot machines from wall to wall the whole casino floor A D Nobody hittin' seventeen and worse yet the Commercial's closed its doors A D G A D G D Nobody hittin' seventeen playin' against the dealer rest assured [Outro] N.C. G El Viejo, friend of mine A D I think you left us just in time
