[Verse 1] |
|
I went down to a big crap game, it certainly was against my will |
|
I lost every dog-gone nickel I had but a greenback dollar bill |
|
There's a forty dollar bet laying on the floor, and my buddy's point was nine |
|
When the police come he caught all of us, but I got mine |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Yes, I got mine, let me tell you, I got mine |
|
I grabbed that money, out the back door I went flyin' |
|
Ever since that big crap game I been living' on chicken and wine |
|
I'm a leader in high society, folks I got mine |
|
[Verse 2] |
|
And I went down to a turkey feast, and that dinner was certainly fine |
|
Fifteen minutes 'fore the table was set, all the jitterbugs fell in line |
|
When they brought them gobblers in, all them Jodies eyes did shine |
|
Talk about a rascal a-grabbin', I got mine |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Yes! I got mine, let me tell you, I got mine |
|
I grabbed that turkey by the wing, out the window I went flyin' |
|
I tried to make it to a hidin' place, but I didn't get there in time |
|
A hungry rascal grabbed me by my coat but I got mine |
|
[Verse 3] |
|
I know a barber shop, it's over in town, it's over on North 4th Street |
|
It's the only place on Saturday night we gamblers care to meet |
|
Some comes in for a haircut, while others come for a scrap |
|
But when you see me and my buddy up there |
|
We mean to shoot some crap |
|
Hollerin' seven, eleven, won't you come come come |
|
If you don't seven eleven dice, I'm done done done |
|
If I see the police 'fore he sees me, I'm gonna run run run |
|
Well I'm a leader in the high society folks, I got mine |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Yes! I got mine, what was it? I got mine |
|
I got it from all these good sports, we been playin' all the time |
|
Some of the boys got 18 months and some of the boys got 9 |
|
When they brought them stripes in the next morning, I got mine |
|
[Verse 4] |
|
I went to my best gal's house last night, the hour was just about nine |
|
I wasn't dressed up like Henry Ford, but I was feeling' just as fine |
|
I caught her sittin' in another rascal's lap, I didn't like that sign |
|
I told that Jody what I thought about him, and I got got mine |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Yes! I got mine, let me tell you, I got mine |
|
I grabbed my hat and out the back door I went flyin' |
|
That jody grabbed a shotgun and used it mighty fine |
|
Talkin' about a rascal a-runnin' men, I got mine |
