_ Well, Bill Jackson was the poor old dud that joined the [B] uptown poker [D] club.
And he cursed the [E] day he ever [A] told anybody he [E] joined.
[A] Well, this money used to go like it had [B] wings.
When he had queens, somebody else had [D] kings.
And every night [E] he'd just sit there [A] donating all his [E] coins.
He'd [A] say, Boy, I'm going to play it right tonight.
I'm going to watch them cards and [B] I'm going to play them tight.
[D] And then when I come in [E] there, I saw my hands going [A] to be a piece.
[E] Well, [A] he played them tight, but after a while he'd [B] unlocked his self a considerable pile.
So [D] he got mad and he [A] stood up and he made this little speech.
Now, boy, you see this razor?
Well, [D] I had it sharpened just today.
[A] Now, I'm coming in here with my rules that [B] everybody's going to follow [E] when they play.
Now, [A] you, flyer, you keep your hands on [D] top of the table when you're dealing, please.
[A] Quit taking them little wild cards and [B] sticking them down there between your [A] legs.
And Jesse, quit [Am] making all them funny [D] signs like you're trying to tip off your hand.
You [A] better talk to me in America, son, America, [B] so that I can [E] understand.
_ [A] And Leroy, quit taking them [D] off at the bottom.
Oh, that's rough.
[A] Just take five off the [B] top and stop.
[E] That's enough.
[A] And pass me them cards, son.
Let me [D] cut on them things every time before you deal.
[A] I like to handle them things, boy.
I [B] like to see.
[E] Because I [A] got news for you, lad.
You ain't playing this game according to that fellow, [D] Hardy.
Uh-uh, no.
[B] Tonight you're playing [E] this game [A] according to me.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Well, they're sitting around the table and at that game, they [B] just happened to meet this old one-eyed man.
[D] And Bill kept [E] watching him out of the corner [A] of his eye.
[E] This [A] old one-eyed cat, he'd been dealing kind of [B] funny.
He done took a whole bunch of Big Bill's money.
[D] So Bill [E] rose up and he looked [A] around the room and with a [E] sigh, he said,
[A] Hmm, that it's all for shame.
[B] I said, is somebody cheating in this here game?
[D] He said, of course it ain't going to [A] do for me to stand up here and mention the guy.
So I refrained from calling that party's name, but [B] you let me catch him cheating us once again,
[D] and I'm going to take my [E] fist and I'm going to close that [A] other eye.
_ [E] _ [A] Now, you see this razor?
[D] Well, I had it sharpened just today.
[A] Now I'm coming in here with my rules that [B] everybody must [E] follow when they play.
Now [A] Clyde, you keep them bony hands up [D] here on top of the table when you're dealing, [A] please.
Don't go taking them little riders [B] and sticking them off down there between [A] your knees.
And Jesse, because I'm making all [D] them monkeys sign, you're still trying to tip off your head.
You better [A] talk to me in American, [B] big A-A, so as I [A] can understand.
And Leroy, quit [D] taking them off the bottom of the desk, son.
I tell [A] you, that's rough.
This is an army [B] game, son.
Take [E] five and hog.
That's [A] enough.
Now pass me them [D] paintboards over here.
Let me cut them things every [A] time before you deal.
Because I like to delve in there, [B] son.
I got to see.
[E] But I [A] got news for you boys.
You ain't playing this game [D] according to that fella, Hawley, uh-uh.
[B] Tonight, you're playing [E] this game according [A] to me. _ _ _
Now, there.
Seeing as how you [G] all know that I didn't ride in here on [C#m] a head of cabbage,
[A] Henry, if you'll break out [Am] another deck of them bicycles, me and the [A] boys will get on with business.
But keep your eye on that fella wearing the patch.
He holds him caught kind of funny.
_ If he ain't careful, somebody around this table will have him jack his jaw.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] That's right, son.
I feel like my luck just changed. _ _ _ _ _
