The Newcastle Poker Forum Anthem

The Newcastle Poker Forum Anthem

Ok as readers may know we run the Newcastle Poker Forum and a very popular thread that started on there was "Poker Music" where members gave their version in poker terms of popular songs.

One that many commented on and that caught our attention was The Card Guard Kids version of "My Way" and so much so in tribute to him and in honour I offer you my version and the newly adopted Newcastle Poker Anthem. Watch out for the out takes at the end.



Lyrics:

And now, the end of the tourney's near
And so I face the final opponent
My friend, i'll say it clear
I'll state by bet, of which i'm certain

I've lived a game that's good
I've called on flop and turn and river
And more, much more than this
I've missed my flush again

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, 10 2 is no good
I called when I had to call
And bluffed it through without exception

I chose to make a move
Each careful bet upon a ragboard
And more, much more than this
I just want the card guard

Yes there were times, I'm sure he knew
When I bet too much and then too few
But through it all, when there was doubt
I was all in and nearly out
I faced it all and I stood tall
Called the bets my way

I've laughed, I've cursed I've cried
I've had my fill - my share of outdraws
And now he shuffles up
I find a call, 5 3 amusing

To think, he's called with that
And my I say, not in a shy way
Oh no. Only two outs
The pot's gone his way

For who is this man? What has he got?
If not top pair - then not a lot
To say those words he truly feels
Call and ya beat is what he squeels
The record shows I called his blows
But the tourney went his way

The tourney went his way
