He played a game called poker

He knuckled with Dan Yoakum

But shootin' dice was his greatest game

Now he's downtown in jail

Nobody to go his bail

The judge done said that he will pay the fine.

Met a girl named Susie

I told her I was the swellest man around

We started to spend my money

Then she started to call me honey

We took in every cabaret in town.
