Testo The Pool Shark - Dave Dudley

Testo della canzone The Pool Shark (Dave Dudley), tratta dall'album Six Days On the Road

He said pardon me for being so bold

But you got a cigarette that's already rolled?

I gave him one, he lit it in his own good time

The smoke in that poolroom hung like fog

When he talked he sounded like a growlin' dog

He said would you care for a dollar on the 5 and the 9?

Now this man was ugly and his eyes were mean

His clothes were dirty but his hands were clean

He held that stick like a mother holds the hand of a child

Well I've been known to hustle a few

When the waitress said is he playin' you?

And I said yeah bring me Brandy water by

Little Red Parker was away in the back

Takin' quarters and handlin' racks

And I told him Red come up here

Glue 'em up tight

That Brandy had me feelin' warm

I tipped that waitress and checked her form

And I said honey you like a winner?

And she just smiled

I played like a man with a broken wrist

I won two and he won six

And I had him set up so I said let's play for five

By this time a crowd had gathered around

To see this fish and just watch him drown

I told that waitress more Brandy and water by

Then he went out and got a custom cue

He said it's no offense to you

But I don't play off the wall with nobody but friends

It had gold initials and a leather grip

Pearl and silver inlaid tip

He smiled at me and said why don't we play for 10

Well I've never seen a man that walked

Who made those balls and table talk

There speakin' English he sure didn't need my help

He broke the balls and kept that string

For a hundred eighty-seven bucks and a ring

'Til I gave up and said friend

You're gonna have to play by yourself

Well he sacked it up and he walked outside

And I strolled out just to watch him ride

And there was a blonde in a Caddy built like the rest of that car

The boys in the poolroom they had 'em laughing

I hung it up and just let it pass

And didn't have a thing but my elbows to put on the bar

And the waitress smiled and said water by

I took the charity and I thanked her twice

And sittin' there sippin' and suddenly I had me a thought

Unlucky gambler and lucky in love

Guess you know what I was thinkin' of

When I said waitress honey what time do you get off?
