Lyrics
Iโm what youโd call a bettinโ man
And I live from pay to pay
Iโm a high card stud of mongrel blood
And a zero on the day
Well Iโm no sage nor soothsayer nor arbiter of truth
Iโm high on risk and low on temper
And long in the tooth
Iโm wide awake on the losing end of it
Better check my pride and take it on the chin
With a Whistle and a Grin
With a Whistle and a Grin
A buxom belle with a surefire tell
Was barking up my tree
I couldnโt take her money
She was making eyes at me
Oh so fine with a low neck line
Reckless fast and loose
She giggled as she drew me in
And tightened up the noose
I used the brain between my legs
Threw in the kitchen sink
That painted up bamboozler
left me staring in my drink
To plumb the depths inside my head
but I can't seem to find
The morale of the story
or a little piece of mind
Just a little piece of mind.
