The man laid his hat on the table
Hung his coat up on the wall
Sat down to dinner, said as soon as I am able
I'll say something nice to you allThen he took a deck from his pocket
Spread 'em so I saw 'em all
Then he turned his back to me, shuffled 'em and drew me
The card that said I never would fallOh, Mary Lou, won't you tell me what to do?
I got a dollar on the corner and a lazer in my shoe
If I don't get an answer, gonna split myself in twoHe spun till a ton was glistening
Turned to me and gave me a smile
He said I'm leaving now but I want what you owe me
I'll be back in a little whileThat was the last time I saw him
Hope I never see him again
And I know it sounds funny but I owe him some money
Really don't want him for a friendOh, Mary Lou, won't you tell me what to do?
I got a dollar on the corner and a lazer in my shoe
If I don't get an answer, gonna split myself in twoThe man laid his hat on the table
