The Pool Shark

The Pool Shark - Dave Dudley[00:00:00]

He said pardon me for bein' so bold[00:00:02]

But you got a cigarette that's already rolled[00:00:05]

I gave him one he lit It In his own good time[00:00:07]

The smoke In that poolroom hung like a fog[00:00:12]

When he talked It sounded like a growling dog[00:00:15]

He said would you care for a dollar on the five or nine[00:00:17]

Now this man was ugly and his eyes were mean[00:00:23]

His clothes were dirty but his hands were clean[00:00:25]

He held that stick like a mother holds the hand of her child[00:00:28]

Well I've been known to hustle a few[00:00:33]

When the waitress said was he playing you[00:00:35]

And I said yeah bring me brandy water by[00:00:38]

Little red Parker was way In the back taking quarters and hadling racks[00:00:46]

And I told him red come up here glue 'em up tight[00:00:50]

That brandy had me feeling warm I tipped that waitress[00:00:56]

And I checked her form[00:00:59]

And I said honey you like a winner and she just smiled[00:01:01]

I played like a man with a broken wrist[00:01:06]

I won two and he won six[00:01:09]

And I had him set up so I said let's play for five[00:01:11]

But this time the crowd had gathered round[00:01:16]

Just To see this fish and watch him drown[00:01:18]

I told that waitress more brandy water by[00:01:21]

Then he went out and got a custom cue[00:01:28]

He said It's no offense to you[00:01:31]

But I don't play off the wall with nobody but friends[00:01:34]

He had a gold Initials In a leather grip pearly and silver Inlaid tip[00:01:38]

He smiled at me and he said hell-a-way we play for ten[00:01:43]

Well I never seen a man that walk who made those balls and table talk[00:01:49]

They're speaking English he sure didn't need my help[00:01:53]

He broke the ball and kept that string[00:01:59]

For a hundred and eighty seven bucks and a ring[00:02:01]

Till I gave up and said friend you're gonna have to play by yourself[00:02:03]

Well he racked It up and walked outside[00:02:11]

And I strolled out just to watch him ride[00:02:14]

And there was a blonde In their candy built like the rest of that car[00:02:16]

The boys In the poolroom they had 'em a laugh[00:02:21]

And I hung It up and just let It pass[00:02:24]

And had nothin' but my elbows to put on the bar[00:02:26]

And the waitress smiled said water by[00:02:31]

I took the charity and thanked her polite[00:02:34]

And sittin' there sippin' and suddenly I had me a thought[00:02:36]

Unlucky gambler and lucky In love[00:02:41]

Guess you know what I was thinking of[00:02:44]

When I said waitress honey what time you get off[00:02:46]
