Now while you playing policy buddy : play four eleven and forty-four
When you get your money : then pack your bags and go
Crying oh : look what that [policy wheel, coal-field, greyhound] have done to me
Says it done took all my money : and but it still won't let me be
Now while you playing policy : play four eighteen and fifty-six
You can pile up your black money : because you sure going to get it fixed
Now when you change your numbers : play thirteen thirty-two and fifty-one
But be careful buddy : because you might have to run
Now while you playing policy buddy : play five nine and fifty-nine
But be careful buddy : because you might lose your mind
Now *ask you to* about gambling : play eleven seventeen and sixty-one
If they don't give you your money : go buy you a gatling gun
Now if you wake up in the morning : ain't got nothing on your mind
Play that old country number : that you call three sixty-nine
Now you can break out your windows : and look down at your glass
Think you going to get my money mama : that's your yas yas yas
When you get your money : then pack your bags and go
Crying oh : look what that [policy wheel, coal-field, greyhound] have done to me
Says it done took all my money : and but it still won't let me be
Now while you playing policy : play four eighteen and fifty-six
You can pile up your black money : because you sure going to get it fixed
