skin game blues (1927) - peg leg howell lyrics

Loading...

when i came to georgia, money and clothes i had, babe
all the money i had done gone, my sunday clothes in p*wn
sunday clothes in p*wn, sunday clothes in p*wn, lovin’ babe, my
sunday clothes in p*wn

said you better let a deal go down, the skin game’s comin’ to a close
and you better let the deal go down

[spoken]
hold the cards! a dollar more! two more halves

a dollar more the deuce beat a nine, a dollar more the deuce beat a nine, lovin’ babe
a dollar more the deuce beat a nine

went out to the skin game last night, thought i’d have some fun
lost all the money that i had made, had to p*wn my special gun
had to p*wn my special gun, had to p*wn my special gun, lovin’ babe
had to p*wn my special gun

said you better let a deal go down, the skin game’s comin’ to a close
and you better let the deal go down

says gambled all over missouri, gambled all through spain, babe
police come to arrest me, babe, and they did not know my name

and they did not know my name, and they did not know my name, lovin’ babe
and they did not know my name

better let a deal go down, skin game’s comin’ to a close
and you better let your deal go down

[spoken]
hold the cards! a dollar more the deuce beat a nine! half more too! put up over there, n*gga

better let the deal go down, says you better let the deal go down

gambled all over missouri, gambled through tennessee, babe
soon as i reached old georgia, ‘n*ggers carried a handcuff to me

the n*ggers carried a handcuff to me, babe, the n*ggers carried a handcuff to me, lovin’ babe
and the n*ggers carried a handcuff to me

better let a deal go down, skin game’s comin’ to a close
and you better let the deal go down
