Bon Temps Roulette |
At a roulette table on a riverboat |
With ermine on her shoulders and diamonds 'round her throat |
She laid a wad of money on seven and said let it roll |
Yeah, like the Cajuns say bon temps roulette let the good times roll |
She hit her number and the table went wild |
That good lookin' woman never cracked a smile |
She said just stack it all back on seven honey and let it roll |
Yeah, I’ve come to play bon temps roulette let the good times roll |
Then somebody whispered I think she’s got a gun, ya’ll |
Ain’t she that woman from Memphis who’s been on the run |
Well, they say she caught her husband piled up on the bed |
With a Cajun stripper that they call Little Red |
She got her husband’s revolver and slipped a bullet in one hole |
Then she said we gonna play a little Russian roulette |
And let the good times roll |
She hit her number on the very first spin |
Put in another bullet and (blam) hit it again |
She said ooh I’m feelin' lucky I think I’ll try the riverboat |
Like Lil' Red used to say bon temps roulette let the good times roll |
Let the good times roll — let the good times roll |
If you’re gonna play you know there ain’t no way to save your soul |
Let the good times roll |
Let 'em roll — let 'em roll |
Yeah, like the Cajuns say bon temps roulette |
Let the good times roll |
She must have had a million dollars he put it in a sack |
Then he put her in his prowler but not in the back |
And he didn’t turn north towards Memphis |
He headed south and let it roll |
Yeah, like the Cajuns say down New Orleans way |
Let the good times roll |
Let the good times roll — let the good times roll |
If you’re gonna play you know there ain’t no way to save your soul |
Let the good times roll |
Let 'em roll — let 'em roll |
Let the good times roll |
Yeah, like the Cajuns say bon temps roulette |
Let the good times roll |
