lyrics

Heard you shufflin’ around my door
Crooked as a walkin stick
Bet you got a lot of things
You need to rid yourself of quick

I know my reputation precedes me
No merchandise too hot
But you won't get what you want
'Til you find a way to sweeten the pot

Who took you in
When fortune wouldn't give you a spin
And who put the ice
In your whiskey and the roll in your dice
So dontcha yank my chain
I'll throw you out again
I'll throw you out again

All my life I never took the bait
That's dangled on a hook by a man
But I gave a few the knock out drops
Drinkin' wine from an old tin can

I got cronies on the outside, the inside
Of every place in town
Look out baby if you step to me
You'll be steppin in a hole in the ground

Who took you in
When fortune wouldn't give you a spin
And who put the ice
In your whiskey and the roll in your dice
So dontcha yank my chain
I'll throw you out again
I'll throw you out again

Got a bed upstairs to lay your head
But first sit down and rest your feet
Tell me how a handsome boy like you
Got turned into the low life beat

You get to prowlin' all the race horse men and gamblers
The moneyed macquereau
Think you're funny tryin' to case the joint
And you'll be laughin' by yourself in the snow

Who took you in
When fortune wouldn't give you a spin
And who put the ice
In your whiskey and the roll in your dice
So dontcha yank my chain
I'll throw you out again
I'll throw you out again
