[00:00.00]The Pool Shark – The Hit Crew (热歌组合)
[00:02.51]He said pardon me for bein’ so bold
[00:05.76]But you got a cigarette that’s already rolled
[00:08.21]I gave him one he lit it in his own good time
[00:11.32]
[00:12.83]The smoke in that poolroom hung like a fog
[00:15.48]When he talked it sounded like a growling dog
[00:18.06]He said would you care for a dollar on the five or nine
[00:21.89]
[00:22.97]Now this man was ugly and his eyes were mean
[00:25.74]His clothes were dirty but his hands were clean
[00:28.67]He held that stick like a mother holds the hand of the child
[00:32.23]
[00:33.46]Well I’ve been known to hustle a few
[00:35.84]When the waitress said was he playing you
[00:38.34]And I said yeah bring me brandy water by
[00:42.15]
[00:46.35]Little Red Parker was way in the back taking quarters and hadling racks
[00:50.99]And I told him “Red come up here glue ’em up tight
[00:54.40]
[00:56.27]That brandy had me feeling warm I tipped that waitress
[00:59.97]And I checked her form
[01:01.21]And I said “Honey you like a winner” and she just smiled
[01:05.63]
[01:06.45]I played like a man with a broken wrist I won two and he won six
[01:11.60]
[01:12.16]I had him set up so I said “Let’s play for five”
[01:15.41]
[01:16.68]But this time the crowd had gathered round
[01:19.18]To see this fish and just watch him drown
[01:22.15]I told that waitress “More brandy water by”
[01:25.57]
[01:29.73]Then he went out and got a custom cue
[01:31.90]He said “It’s no offense to you
[01:34.59]But I don’t play off the wall with nobody but friends”
[01:38.40]
[01:39.63]He had a gold initials in a leather grip pearly and silver inlaid tip
[01:45.22]He smiled at me and he said “why don’t we play for ten”
[01:48.54]
[01:50.11]Well I never seen a man that walk who made those balls and table talk
[01:54.78]
[01:55.40]They’re speaking English he sure didn’t need my help
[01:59.47]
[02:00.11]He broke the ball and kept that string
[02:02.76]For a hundred and eighty seven bucks and a ring
[02:05.61]Till I gave up and said “Friend you’re gonna have to play by yourself”
[02:09.51]
[02:12.76]But he said to mop and walked outside
[02:15.53]And I strolled out just to watch him ride
[02:18.48]And there was a blonde in their caddy built like the rest of that car
[02:21.92]
[02:23.18]The boys in the poolroom they had ’em a laugh
[02:26.18]I hung it up and just let it pass
[02:28.13]
[02:28.75]Did’t have a thing but my elbows to put on the bar
[02:31.95]
[02:33.20]And the waitress smiled said “Water by ”
[02:36.37]I took the charity and thanked her polite
[02:38.81]And sittin’ there sippin’ and suddenly I had me a thought
[02:41.92]
[02:43.42]Unlucky gambler and lucky in love
[02:46.08]Guess you know what I was thinking of
[02:48.76]When I said waitress “Honey what time you get off “
