[N] [A]
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.
