The man laid his hat on the table Hung his coat up on the wall Sat down to dinner Said as soon as I am able I'll say something nice to you all
Then he took a deck from his pocket Spread em so I saw 'em all Then he turned his back to me shuffled 'em and drew me The card that said I never would fall
Oh mary lou won't you tell me what to do I got a dollar on the corner and a lazer in my shoe If I don't get an answer Gonna split myself in two
He spun 'till a ton was glistening Turned to me and gave me a smile He said I'm leaving now But I want what you owe me I'll be back in a little while
That was the last time I saw him Hope I never see him again I know it sounds funny But I owe him some money And I really don't want him for a friend
