| Chorus
|
| Louisiana Lou and Three Card Monty John,
|
| Oh lord, what a natural pair.
|
| Looking for a game, fortune and fame,
|
| Waitin' just a little farther down the road somewhere.
|
| Now Three Card Monty is a gamblin' game,
|
| Two black aces and a pretty red queen,
|
| Keep your eye on the lady and lay your money down,
|
| Watch the fastest hand you’ve ever seen.
|
| Texas Hustlin' Billy, lord he’s on the road again,
|
| He was seen in New Orleans the other day,
|
| Now Lou is known as quite a man with a pool cue in his hand,
|
| Won’t be long 'til him and John were headed down that way.
|
| Chorus
|
| It was Friday night, lord the time was right,
|
| Texas Billy finally made his play,
|
| The game went on into the night and just about dawn,
|
| They were counting Bill’s money lord, headed for LA
|
| Chorus
|
| Waitin' just a little farther down the road somewhere |
