lyrics

Well last Tuesday night I missed my babe, he never showed around.
So I slipped my satin slippers on and went where he'd be found.
Down at the high ball coloured club I peeped in through that door.
And there I saw my babies hat, a-hangin' on the floor.

Well a poker game was a-working so through the door I done glide.
They never heard me coming till I stood by my babies side.
A man there nursed a royal flush and my baby said "I'll pass".
I know it wasn't very ladylike, but I turned out the gas.

Because I couldn't stand to see my baby lose.
'Cause I love him from his head down to his shoes.
He's been so awful kind to me, I did it out of sympathy.
'Cause I couldn't stand to see my baby lose.

My baby rides the horses and he's got them beat a block.
At ever race track that he rides he is the winning jock.
He won the Brooklyn handicap and he made ten thousand clear.
And chicken wasn't good enough for us for most a year.

We he owned the great suburban, but he was too fat to ride.
I throwed him down it worried him until he nearly dies.
And lost enough of flesh to ride the race and then he won.
He cried how could you treat me so, I said "'Cause I loves you hun".
