1
He said pardon me for bein' so bold but you got a cigarette that's already rolled
2
I gave him one he lit it in his own good time
3
The smoke in that poolroom hung like a fog
4
When he talked it sounded like a growling dog
5
He said would you care for a dollar on the five or nine
6
Now this man was ugly and his eyes were mean
7
His clothes were dirty but his hands were clean
8
He held that stick like a mother holds the hand of the child
9
Well I've been known to hustle a few when the waitress said was he playing you
10
And I said yeah bring me brandy water by
11
Little Red Parker was way in the back taking quarters and hadling racks
12
And I told him Red come up here glue 'em up tight
13
That brandy had me feeling warm I tipped that waitress and I checked her form
14
And I said honey you like a winner and she just smiled
15
I played like a man with a broken wrist I won two and he won six
16
And I had him set up so I said let's play for five
17
But this time the crowd had gathered round to see this fish and just watch him drown
18
I told that waitress more brandy water by
19
Then he went out and got a custom cue he said it's no offence to you
20
But I don't play off the wall with nobody but friends
21
He had a gold initials in a leather grip pearly and silver inlaid tip
22
He smiled at me and he said hell-a-way we play for ten
23
Well I never seen a man that walk who made those balls and table talk
24
They're speaking English he sure didn't need my help
25
He broke the ball and kept that string for a hundred and eighty seven bucks and a ring
26
Till I gave up and said friend you're gonna have to play by yourself
27
Well he racked it up and walked outside and I strolled out just to watch him ride
28
And there was a blonde in their Caddy built like the rest of that car
29
The boys in the poolroom they had 'em a laugh and I hung it up and just let it pass
30
And had nothin' but my elbows to put on the bar
31
And the waitress smiled said water by I took the chairity and thanked her polite
32
And sittin' there sippin' and suddenly I had me a thought
33
Unlucky gambler and lucky in love guess you know what I was thinking of
34
When I said waitress honey what time do you get off
