| (traditional) | |
| (c) - (f) - (g) - (am) | |
| (c) and i went down to a big crap game, | |
| 'twas (f) certainly against my (c) will. | |
| I lost every doggone nickel i had | |
| But a (g) greenback dollar bill. | |
| (c) forty dollar that laid on the floor | |
| My (f) buddy's point was (c) nine | |
| Well, the (f) police they come in there | |
| And (am) caught all of 'em | |
| But (c) i (g) got (c) mine. | |
| I got mine, let me tell ya | |
| (f) i got (c) mine. | |
| I grabbed that money | |
| Out the back door (g) i went flying | |
| Well, (c) ever since the big crap game | |
| I've been (f) livin' on chicken and (c) wine. | |
| I'm the (f) leader of so (am) ciety | |
| Since (c) i (g) got (c) mine. | |
| I know a barber shop | |
| It's a way cross town | |
| Down on norfolk street | |
| It's the only place on a saturday night | |
| That us gamblers gets to meet | |
| Some comes for a haircut | |
| And others come for a scrap | |
| And 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 them | |
| You're done, done, done" | |
| If i see the police before he sees me | |
| I'm gonna run, run, run | |
| I'm the leader of society | |
| Since i got mine | |
| Well, i went down to my best girl'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 |
