[00:00:02] He said pardon me for bein' so bold

[00:00:05] But you got a cigarette that's already rolled

[00:00:07] I gave him one he lit it in his own good time

[00:00:12] The smoke in that poolroom hung like a fog

[00:00:15] When he talked it sounded like a growling dog

[00:00:17] He said would you care for a dollar on the five or nine

[00:00:22] Now this man was ugly and his eyes were mean

[00:00:25] His clothes were dirty but his hands were clean

[00:00:28] He held that stick like a mother holds the hand of her child

[00:00:33] Well I've been known to hustle a few

[00:00:35] When the waitress said was he playing you

[00:00:37] And I said yeah bring me brandy water by

[00:00:46] Little red parker was way in the back taking quarters and hadling racks

[00:00:50] And I told him red come up here glue 'em up tight

[00:00:55] That brandy had me feeling warm I tipped that waitress

[00:00:59] And I checked her form

[00:01:00] And I said honey you like a winner and she just smiled

[00:01:06] I played like a man with a broken wrist

[00:01:08] I won two and he won six

[00:01:11] And I had him set up so I said let's play for five

[00:01:16] But this time the crowd had gathered round

[00:01:18] To see this fish and watch him drown

[00:01:21] I told that waitress more brandy water by

[00:01:28] Then he went out and got a custom cue

[00:01:31] He said it's no offense to you

[00:01:34] But I don't play off the wall with nobody but friends

[00:01:38] He had a gold initials in a leather grip pearly and silver inlaid tip

[00:01:43] He smiled at me and he said hell a way we play for ten

[00:01:48] Well I never seen a man that walk who made those balls and table talk

[00:01:53] They're speaking english he sure didn't need my help

[00:01:58] He broke the ball and kept that string

[00:02:01] For a hundred and eighty seven bucks and a ring

[00:02:03] Till I gave up and said friend you're gonna have to play by yourself

[00:02:11] Well he racked it up and walked outside

[00:02:13] And I strolled out just to watch him ride

[00:02:16] And there was a blonde in their caddy built like the rest of that car

[00:02:21] The boys in the poolroom they had 'em a laugh

[00:02:23] And I hung it up and just let it pass

[00:02:26] And had nothin' but my elbows to put on the bar

[00:02:31] And the waitress smiled said water by

[00:02:33] I took the charity and thanked her polite

[00:02:36] And sittin' there sippin' and suddenly I had me a thought

[00:02:41] Unlucky gambler and lucky in love

[00:02:44] I guess you know what I was thinking of

[00:02:46] When I said waitress honey what time you get off
