Mississippi Flush.
That's a gambling term.
I don't know if we have any serious [Eb] gambler here.
But my father, besides [N] being a teacher and a principal, [Abm] he taught over at Roachmont [Dbm] and he taught out [Eb] in Mountain Wild.
But before [Abm] that, [Dbm] he was a gambler.
He lived up in southeast [Ab] Oklahoma and east Texas up there near Ferris and Roxton up [E] there.
And he was [Ab] a pretty good gambler, but he wasn't a very good drinker.
[Ebm] I remember when I was about 12 [Eb] years old, I came home and had been drinking.
So my mom said, Ray, you go outside.
I need to talk to your father.
So I went outside and [Ebm] listened out the [Db] window.
And I heard my [Gm] mom tell my dad, she said, now Royce, I love you.
And [Ab] I'll be married to a [Eb] gambler, but I'm not going to be married [E] to a drunk and a gambler.
So if you come [C] home drinking [Abm] again, I'm going to take this wedding ring that you gave me on the day we were married.
I'm going to take it [F] off and I'm not going to [Gm] give it back to [Abm] you.
I'm not going to throw it away.
I'm going to take this ring that you gave me on the day we were married and I'm going to take it and I'm going to melt it down [E] into a bullet.
[C] [N] He
[Gm]
[E] always told me, he said, if you're ever in a card [Em] game [Ab] and [Em] somebody says they have a [E] Mississippi flush, you should [Gm] know what that is.
[F] [G]
Well, the God will be caught by a car draw.
All the tickets here in Arkansas.
[Em] You make a little money with your little fart.
[G] You can't get to heaven unless you start [D] living across my soul.
[Gm] [G]
She's a one-eyed jack and a suicide.
He never [Em] dropped to an inside.
Right.
[G] Take a chance.
Wait.
