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 pawned my house, he got my life at stake,

He's done pawned 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.
