Testo I Got Mine - Ry Cooder
Testo della canzone I Got Mine (Ry Cooder), tratta dall'album 1970 - 1987
And I went down to a big crap game
'Twas certainly against my will
I lost every doggone nickel I had
But a greenback dollar bill
40 dollar that laid on the floor
My buddy's point was nine
Well, the police they come in there and caught all of 'em
But I got mine
I got mine, let me tell ya
I got mine
I grabbed that money, out the back door I went flying
Well, ever since the big crap game
I've been livin' on chicken and wine
I'm the leader of society since I got mine
I know a barber shop, it's a way 'cross town
Down on Norfolk Street
It's the only place on a Saturday night
That us gamblers gets to meet
Some comes for a haircut
And others come for a scrap
And when you see me and my buddies up there, man
We means to shoot some crap
Hollering, "Seven-eleven, won't you come, come, come!"
If you don't seven-eleven them, you're done, done, done
If I see the police before he sees me, I'm gonna run, run, run
I'm the leader of society since I got mine
Well, I went down to my best girl's house
And the hour was just about nine
I wasn't dressed up like Henry Ford
But I was feeling just as fine
And I caught her sitting on another man's knee
And I didn't like that sign
Well, I told them what I thought about it, boys
And I got mine
I got mine, I got mine
I grabbed my hat and through the window I went flying
I ran as fast as I could run, but I didn't get there in time
Because the rascal grabbed a shotgun, Lord
And I got mine
And I got mine
Surely
I just didn't run faster
