Lyrics
Bill jackson was a poor old dub Who joined the darktown poker club But cursed the day he told them he would join His money used to go like it had wings If he held queens, someone had kings And each night he would contribute all his coins He said I'm going to play em tight tonight No bobtail flush is gonna make me bite When I get's in, my hands going to be a peach So he played em tight, but lost his pile And bill got peevish after a while So he rose, got up, and made this speech
He said - now you all see this brand new razor I've had it sharpened just today And I'm comin''- in with my own rules That you must follow as you play Now keep them boney hands on the table when you deal'em please And don't be slipp'en any aces down there in between your knees And don't make any of them funny signs like your trying to tip off your hand Just talk in american, boy american - so's I can understand And don't be dealing off the bottom, cause oh! that's rough Just take five, five - then stop, that's enough Now when you bet, put up them chips, cause I don't like it when you shy If you get busted - go get some, cause I won't be here by & by Pass them cards for me to shuffle every time before you deal Then if anything wrong, I must see Cause you ain't going to play this game according to mr. hoyle You're going to play this here game according to me
Now sitting right there at that there clan There chanced to be a one eyed man And bill kept watching from the corner of his eye If ol' one-eye would deal'em then It would have cost that bill another five or ten So he rose, looked all around and with a sigh He said 'lord' he said - but it's an awful shame But there's someone cheating in this here game Of course it don't do for me to name the guy So I'll refrain from mentioning the party's name But if I catch him cheating just once again I'm gonna take my fist and close that other eye
Now you all see this brand new razor Well I've had it sharpened just today I'm comin' in with my own rules That you must follow when you play. - egad Keep your hands up there when you deal'em please And don't be puttin' those wildies slip in between your knees And don't make them funny signs like your trying to tip off your hand Just talk american - big a-a-a so's I can understand And don't be takin' off the bottom, cause I've told you before - that's rough! This is the army game, five, five - then halt, that's enough When you bet, let's see them reds and blues, cause I don't like it when you shy If you run out of gas - go get pumped up, I won't be here by & by Pass them pasteboards for me to shuffle every time before you deal - let me ripple Anything's wrong, I wanna see I mean you ain't gonna play this game now according to mr. hoyle You're going to play this game according to me Henry, if you break the seal on them new set of bicycles - we'll go on from here....yeah, yeah, yeah
