I Got Mine |
| Now I went down to a big crap game |
| Certainly was against my will |
| I lost every doggone nickel I had |
| But a greenback dollar bill |
| Forty dollar bet laid on the floor |
| My buddy’s point was nine |
| Well, the police they come in there |
| And caught all of us |
| But I got mine |
| I got mine, let me tell ya |
| I got mine |
| I grabbed that money |
| Out the back door I went flying |
| Well, ever since the big crap game |
| I’ve been livin' on chicken and wine |
| I’m a leader of society |
| Since I got mine |
| I know a barber shop |
| It’s a way cross town |
| Down on North Walker Street |
| Onliest place on a Saturday night |
| Us gamblers cares to meet |
| Some comes in for a haircut |
| And others come for a scrap |
| But when you see me and my buddies up there, man |
| We means to shoot some crap |
| Hollering: «Seven, eleven, won’t you come, come, come!!! |
| If you don’t seven, eleven dice |
| I’m a-done, done, done» |
| If I see the police before he sees me |
| I’m gonna run, run, run |
| I’m a leader of society |
| Since I got mine |
| Well, I went down to my best gal’s house |
| The hour was just about nine |
| I wasn’t dressed up like Henry Ford |
| But I was feeling just as fine |
| I caught her sitting on another man’s knee |
| And I didn’t like that sign |
| Well, I told them what I thought about it, boys |
| And I got mine |
| I got mine, I got mine |
| I grabbed my hat and through the window |
| I went flying |
| I ran as fast as I could run |
| But I didn’t get there in time |
| Because the rascal grabbed a shotgun, Lord |
| And I got mine |
| Man I got mine |
| Sho' did |
| I just didn’t run fast enough |
