The Pool Shark - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)[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[00:00:08]

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[00:00:18]

Now this man was ugly and his eyes were mean[00:00:22]

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

He held that stick like a mother holds the hand of the 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 I won two and he won six[00:01:06]

I had him set up so I said "Let's play for five"[00:01:12]

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

To see this fish and just watch him drown[00:01:19]

I told that waitress "More brandy water by"[00:01:22]

Then he went out and got a custom cue[00:01:29]

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[00:01:39]

He smiled at me and he said "why don't we play for ten"[00:01:45]

Well I never seen a man that walk who made those balls and table talk[00:01:50]

They're speaking English he sure didn't need my help[00:01:55]

He broke the ball and kept that string[00:02:00]

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

Till I gave up and said "Friend you're gonna have to play by yourself"[00:02:05]

But he said to mop and walked outside[00:02:12]

And I strolled out just to watch him ride[00:02:15]

And there was a blonde in their caddy built like the rest of that car[00:02:18]

The boys in the poolroom they had 'em a laugh[00:02:23]

I hung it up and just let it pass[00:02:26]

Did't have a thing but my elbows to put on the bar[00:02:28]

And the waitress smiled said "Water by "[00:02:33]

I took the charity and thanked her polite[00:02:36]

And sittin' there sippin' and suddenly I had me a thought[00:02:38]

Unlucky gambler and lucky in love[00:02:43]

Guess you know what I was thinking of[00:02:46]

When I said waitress "Honey what time you get off "[00:02:48]
