Playin' Dominoes And Shootin' Dice

[Verse 1] Once I knowed a guitar picker, lived his life on wine and liquor Running around in one of them new machines He was about the proudest feeling, wheeling, dealing Sneaking, stealing, aggravating man I've ever seen Nothing but a midnight rambler, biggest drunkard and a gambler He'd do anything that wasn't nice Hunting, golfing, fishing, swimming, running around with other women [Chorus] Playing dominoes and shooting dice [Verse 2] Then one night as he was dining, while the moon was brightly shining With his secret love he was so gay He would laugh and call her 'Honey' while she proudly spent his money As they hugged and smooched the time away Laughing, joking, dining, dancing Planning parties and romancing, having fun regardless of the price Eating caviar and chicken, strumming his guitar and picking [Chorus] [Verse 3] Then his wife walked in and found him with that pretty girl around him Started making headway for the gate When he seen those girls dividing, he commenced to slip and sliding But he seemed to know it was too late Crowds began to getting thinner, they jumped up and left their dinner No one seemed to have an appetite Not a person dare defend her, everyone jumped out the window No one hung around to see the fight Then she grabbed him by the collar, he commenced to squeal and holler As she plastered him betwixt the eyes And then his old guitar she swung it, over his head she proudly hung it Bruises, knots and bumps began to rise He leapt up and tried to squeeze her, but she warped across the beezer Pulled a pistol and shot him once or twice When the wicked fight was over, he was laid beneath the clover [Chorus]
