casper allen - rice & beans (504) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
well a traveller entered new orleans
with a rose on his lapel
he bid his time, soaked in wine
and that bar water smell
he came and went
[by a train and tent?]
collectin’ cards, placin’ bets
’til his debt was far too heavy to pay

[verse 2]
from across that big old river
came a lady dressed in black
by chance he saw her dancin’
in a houston highway shack
well the traveller entered case in hand
to run his con and leave again
’til he saw her dancin’ on thе floor

[pre+chorus]
well sl!ck as a razor and quick as a gun
he approached hеr where they were not one
when he sang to her a simple verse
she laid on him a lover’s curse

[chorus]
she said rice and beans
rice and beans, that all that poor boy ever eats
he’s got a nickel in his pocket and a crack in his smile
she got a [aw but?] that poor boy can’t you tell
[verse 3]
well the gambling man from out of town
cashed in his chips and came around
took a seat at the table with a bottle of brown
took a generous sip and he laid his stake down

[pre+chorus]
well stiff as pool cue and firm as a rock
didn’t pay no mind to them other men’s talk
then it began, the gamblin’ man took the whole table down with a shoddy hand

[chorus]
he said rice and beans
rice and beans, that all that poor boy ever eats
he’s got a bottle in his pocket and a crack in his smile
she got a [aw but?] that poor boy can’t you tell

[verse 4]
well the traveller went home to his dancin’ queen
took a seat on the bed, shook out his jeans
you could have cut that tension with a knife
when that nickel hit the hardwood she disappeared into the night
