dave dudley – pool shark lyrics

Loading...

he said, “pardon me for bein’ so bold
but you got a cigarette that’s already rolled”
i gave him one, he lit it in his own good time
the smoke in that poolroom hung like a fog
when he talked it sounded like a growling dog
he said, “would you care for a dollar on the five or nine?”

now this man was ugly and his eyes were mean
his clothes were dirty but his hands were clean
he held that stick like a mother holds the hand of her child
well, i’ve been known to hustle a few
when the waitress said, “was he playing you?”
and i said, “yeah, bring me brandy water by”

little red parker was way in the back taking quarters and hadling racks
and i told him, “red, come up here, glue ’em up tight
that brandy had me feeling warm, i tipped that waitress
and i checked her form
and i said, “honey, you like a winner”, and she just smiled

i played like a man with a broken wrist, i won two and he won six
and i had him set up so i said, “let’s play for five”
but this time the crowd had gathered round
to see this fish and just watch him drown
i told that waitress, “more brandy water by”

then he went out and got a custom cue
he said, “it’s no offense to you
but i don’t play off the wall with n-body but friends”
he had a gold initials in a leather grip pearly and silver inlaid tip
he smiled at me and he said, “h-ll-a-way, we play for ten”

well, i never seen a man that walk who made those b-lls and table talk
they’re speaking english, he sure didn’t need my help
he broke the ball and kept that string
for a hundred and eighty seven bucks and a ring
till i gave up and said, “friend, you’re gonna have to play by yourself”

well, he racked it up and walked outside
and i strolled out just to watch him ride
and there was a blonde in their caddy built like the rest of that car
the boys in the poolroom they had ’em a laugh
and i hung it up and just let it p-ss
and had nothin’ but my elbows to put on the bar

and the waitress smiled said, “water by?”
i took the charity and thanked her polite
and sittin’ there sippin’ and suddenly i had me a thought
unlucky gambler and lucky in love
guess you know what i was thinking of
when i said waitress, “honey, what time you get off?”
