Lyrics I Got Mine - Pink Anderson

I Got Mine

I went down to a big crap game, it certainly was against my will
I lost every dog-gone nickel I had but a greenback dollar bill
There’s a forty dollar bet laying on the floor, and my buddy’s point was nine
When the police come he caught all of us, but I got mine
Yes, I got mine, let me tell you, I got mine
I grabbed that money, out the back door I went flyin'
Ever since that big crap game I been living' on chicken and wine
I’m a leader in high society, folks I got mine
And I went down to a turkey feast, and that dinner was certainly fine
Fifteen minutes 'fore the table was set, all the jitterbugs fell in line
When they brought them gobblers in, all them Jodies eyes did shine
Talk about a rascal a-grabbin', I got mine
Yes!
I got mine, let me tell you, I got mine
I grabbed that turkey by the wing, out the window I went flyin'
I tried to make it to a hidin' place, but I didn’t get there in time
A hungry rascal grabbed me by my coat but I got mine
I know a barber shop, it’s over in town, it’s over on North 4th Street
It’s the only place on Saturday night we gamblers care to meet
Some comes in for a haircut, while others come for a scrap
But when you see me and my buddy up there
We mean to shoot some crap
Hollerin' seven, eleven, won’t you come come come
If you don’t seven eleven dice, I’m done done done
If I see the police 'fore he sees me, I’m gonna run run run
Well I’m a leader in the high society folks, I got mine
Yes!
I got mine, what was it?
I got mine
I got it from all these good sports, we been playin' all the time
Some of the boys got 18 months and some of the boys got 9
When they brought them stripes in the next morning, I got mine
I went to my best gal’s house last night, the hour was just about nine
I wasn’t dressed up like Henry Ford, but I was feeling' just as fine
I caught her sittin' in another rascal’s lap, I didn’t like that sign
I told that Jody what I thought about him, and I got got mine
Yes!
I got mine, let me tell you, I got mine
I grabbed my hat and out the back door I went flyin'
That jody grabbed a shotgun and used it mighty fine
Talkin' about a rascal a-runnin' men, I got mine
