Lyrics »

Got in a black jack game last night I lost everytime my hand Got in a black jack game last night An' I lost everytime my hand Well you know I was afraid to go home, I'm tellin' you 'Cause I knew it would make my wife very mad I said 'I better get some money, baby Before I enter your door Yes, I knew I had better get some money, baby Before I enter your door If I don't I know my baby's gonna tell me 'Daddy, you don't live at this number no more' I sat back down to the table This time I really played my hand Yes, I sat back down to the table An' this time I played my hand I won 500 dollar' That way I could live at home a happy man again When I sat down to the table Boys, you know I really played my hand When I sat back down to the table Boys, you know I really played my hand You know I beat all'em cats out of 500 dollar' That way I could live at home a happy man again
