Lyrics
(written by Bruce Mc
Cabe)I used to hang out at Jack's Pool Hallyou go down there and don't do nothin' at allif you wanted to play some cards there was a game in the backif you wanted to shoot or somethin' you went and talked to Jackif you had a little money you was a grade A foolthere was a guy down there who used to shoot a little pool
Rack 'em uptill the day he was dead that all they ever said
Rack 'em up
He didn't own a TV set, didn't own a carhe ate what whatever Jack was makin' back behind the barthey said he had a wife, but she left him in tearshe hadn't been home in twenty five years
Rack 'em up
They came from all over thinkin' they were pretty hotput all their money on the table, wanna play the best we gotnine in the corner, five in the sidetake a hundred dollar bill and just let it ride
I tell him listen son, ain't no disasterthere ain't no shame in being beat by a master
Rack 'em uptil the day he was gone they said it all day long
Rack 'em up
