Hold ’em, Boys — Scarlett Sky

From the album Cowboys & Southern Belles

Texas poker, bad judgment, and one very expensive hand.

“Hold ’em, Boys” is a dark Texas swing story built around a late-night poker table full of men who think they know exactly what they’re doing.

Captain Button runs the game. Donkey Johnny is the resident donk. Dentist Nicky is the whale who keeps the money moving. An Odessa oil man waits for the trap. Lease-hound Kenny puts acreage on the line. Derek brings three silver buckles and his father’s Purple Heart.

The cards tighten.
The bets get stupid.
The cattle sleep better than the cowboys.

By sunrise, land has changed hands, teeth have been rearranged, and pocket kings have become a family problem.

Album: Cowboys & Southern Belles
Artist: Scarlett Sky
Style: Texas swing / cabaret noir / narrative song
Theme: Poker, pride, bad reads, bad bets, Texas characters, consequences

For listeners who like story songs, poker culture, Western swing, dark humor, and songs where every hand moves the plot.

Consider it a small contribution toward keeping the music playing, the stories coming, and Scarlett Sky’s next bad idea properly funded.
