Got in a black jack game last night
I lost everytime my hand
Got in a black jack game last night
An' I lost everytime my hand
Well you know I was afraid to go home, I'm tellin' you
'Cause I knew it would make my wife very mad
I said 'I better get some money, baby
Before I enter your door
Yes, I knew I had better get some money, baby
Before I enter your door
If I don't I know my baby's gonna tell me
'Daddy, you don't live at this number no more'
I sat back down to the table
This time I really played my hand
Yes, I sat back down to the table
An' this time I played my hand
I won 500 dollar'
That way I could live at home a happy man again
When I sat down to the table
Boys, you know I really played my hand
When I sat back down to the table
Boys, you know I really played my hand
You know I beat all'em cats out of 500 dollar'
That way I could live at home a happy man again
