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 |
