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 all
Then 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 fall
Oh, 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 two
He 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 while
That 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 friend
Oh, 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 two
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 all
Then 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 fall
Oh, 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, I'll split myself in two
