Well I went down to a big crap game It certainly was against my will I lost every dog-gone nickel I had And a greenback dollar bill A $40 bet laying on the floor And my buddy's point was nine The police come in and caught all of them But I got mine
I got mine, I got mine I grabbed that money and out the back door I went flyin' Ever since that big crap game I been living' on mad dog wine I been the enemy of the police since I got mine
There's a barbershop across town down on North Walker Street It's the only place on a Saturday night we gamblers care to meet Some go there for a haircut And some go there just to chat But you see me down there I mean to shoot some crap
Seven come on 11 Shine, shine, shine Baby needs a new pair of shoes And I've got a hole in mine Sweet little miss lady luck ain't kneeling by my side Them boys they all went crying 'Cause I got mine
I went over to my best gal's house I got there about time I wasn't dressed in my very best but I was feeling mighty fine I caught my gal on another man's knees And I didn't like that sign And when I told them just what I thought about it Boys I got mine
I got mine, I got mine Like a big fat tomcat through that window I went flying I ran as fast as I could but I didn't get there on time That rascal grabbed a shotgun And I got mine
