《The Pool Shark》歌词

[00:00:00] The Pool Shark - Dave Dudley

[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

[00:00:23] 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

[00:00:38] 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

[00:00:56] That brandy had me feeling warm I tipped that waitress

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

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

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

[00:01:09] 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] Just 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

[00:01:49] 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

[00:01:59] 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

[00:02:14] And I strolled out just to watch him ride

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

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

[00:02:24] 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

[00:02:34] 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] Guess you know what I was thinking of

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