I am making a cd of Poker songs for my weekly game so far I have:

Frank Sinatra - Luck Be A lady
Kenny Rogers - The Gambler
Carly Simon - Riverboat Gambler
Eric Clapton or Ray Charles - Losing Hand
Grateful Dead - Deal
Uncle Kracker - Aces and Eights
Juice Newton - Queen of Hearts
Hank Snow - Form a Jack To A King
O.A.R. - That Was A Crazy Game of Poker
Old Crow Medicine Show - Wagon Wheel (for an off hand poker reference in one verse)


What else can you think of ?

I dare you to put Sting's "Shape of My Heart" on there.

And yes, it involves cards and suits.

About half of the songs on the Alan Parsons Project album "Turn of a Friendly Card" are about gambling.

Also "The Card Cheat" by the Clash.

And "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts" by Bob Dylan.
Possibly Motorhead's "Ace of Spades."
Dave Edmunds' original version of "Queen of Hearts." It's better than Juice Newton's.
"Three Armed Poker-Playing River Rat" by the Everly Brothers is great, if you can find it.
The Band's "Up on Cripple Creek" is about a gambler, but his poison is horseracing, not poker.
"Cash on the Barrelhead" by any number of country artists.

Two suggestions from Google:

Placebo, "Splite and Malice."
Trio, "Hearts are Trump."

"Three Card Trick" by The Clash

And by that you mean "The Card Cheat" right?

"Fire Lake" by Bob Seger, and "The Jack" by AC/DC.

So there IS a song called "Three Card Trick" by the Clash. My mistake. (Of course it's off Cut the Crap so that would explain why I didn't know about it.)

That said I'm surprised by the inclusion of "House of the Rising Sun." I always figured it was about a whorehouse.

Oh and here's one I forgot. Casino Boogie by the Rolling Stones.

It is about a whorehouse. They're reaching.
