Skin Game Blues - Lucille Bogan
Written by：Lucille Bogan
Good mornin' skin game
Hollerin' skin game please last
Good mornin' skin game
Hollerin' skin game please last
I done staked my man to win
And I hope my money will pass
He's done pawned my house
He got my life at stake
He's on pawned my house
Got my life at stake
And I've got to get it back
With that money he gamble and make
He never lost no money
Until he drawed that black
Queen of spades
Oh lost his money
On that black
Queen of spades
And my man was need now beggin'
He was in hard luck that very day
When he come back to me
Got a dollar or two
Come back to me
Got a dollar or two
I want him to go back to that skin game
And see what he can do
If my man
He could only win my money back
If my man
Could only win my money back
I would take a walk downtown
Buy me a
Brand new pair of shoes and hat
