Bob Seger Fire Lake Lyrics

[Fletch XXX]

The Aces and Eights myth is old and deep, and refers to a poker hand instead of black jack though.

Its the hand Wild Bill was supposedly holding when he died.

'When Wild Bill Hickok fell down dead on the floor, he had in his hand five cards, the cards that became known as a "dead mans hand" (a two-pair of aces and eigths).'

Hence the name.
