Skin Game Blues Lyrics

Good mornin' skin game, hollerin' skin game please last,

Good mornin' skin game, hollerin' skin game please last,
I done staked my man to win and I, hope my money will pass.

He's done p***ed my house, he got my life at stake,

He's done p***ed my house, got my life at stake,

And I've got to get it back, with that money he gamble and make.
He never lost no money, until he drawed that black Queen of Spades,

Ooh lost his money, on that black Queen of Spades,

And my man was need-now beggin', he was in hard luck that very day.

When he come back to me, got a dollar or two,
Come back to me, got a dollar or two,

I want him to go back to that skin game, and see what he can do.

If my man, he could only win my money back,

If my man, could only win my money back,

I would take a walk downtown, buy me a brand new pair of shoes and hat.
