| Lyrics |
the man laid his hat on the tablehung his coat up on the wallsat down to dinnersaid as soon as I am able
I'll say something nice to you allthen he took a deck from his pocketspread em so I saw em allthen he turned his back to meshuffled em and drew methe card that said I never would falloh mary lou won't you tell me what to do
I got a dollar on the cornerand a lazer in my shoeif I don't get an answergonna split myself in twohe spun till a ton was glisteningturned to me and gave me a smilehe said I'm leaving nowbut I want what you owe me
I'll be back in a little whilethat was the last time I saw himhope I never see him again
I know it sounds funnybut I owe him some moneyand I really don't want him for a friendoh mary lou won't you tell me what to do
I got a dollar on the cornerand a lazer in my shoeif I don't get an answergonna split myself in two
