PLAYIN' DOMINOS AND SHOOTIN' DICE
RAMBLIN' JIMMY DOLAN
[D] Once I know'd a guitar picker
Lived a life of wine and liquor
Runnin' a-round in one of them new mach-[A7] ines
He was about the brightest feelin'
Wheelin', dealin', sneakin', stealin'
Aggravatinest man I ever [D] seen.
Nothin' but a midnight rambler
Biggest drunkard and a gambler
He'd do anything that wasn't nice
Huntin', golfin', fishin', swimmin'
Runnin' a-round with other women
Playin' Dominos And Shootin' Dice.
Then one night as he was dinin'
While the moon was brightly shinin'
With his secret love, he was so ga-ay
He would laugh and call her honey
While she wildly spent his money
As they hugged and smooched the time away.
Laughin', jokin', dinin', dancin'
Planin' parties and romancin'
Havin' fun regardless of the price
Eatin' caviar and chicken
Strummin' his guitar and pickin'
Playin' Dominos And Shootin' Dice.
Then his wife walked in and found him
With that pretty girl around him
Started makin' headway for the gate
When he seen them gals dividin'
He commenced to slip and slidin'
But he seemed to know it was too late.
Crowds began to gettin' thinner
They jumped up and left their dinner
No one seem to have an appetite
Not a person dare offend her
Ev'ryone jumped out the winder
No one hung around to see the fight.
Then she grabbed him by the collar
He commenced to squeal and holler
As she plastered him betwixt the eyes
Then his old guitar, she swung it
For his head, she really hung it
Bruises, knots and bumps began to rise.
He lept up and tried to squeeze her
But she whopped him 'cross the geezer
Grabbed a pistol, shot him once or twice
When the wicked fight was over
He was laid beneath the Clover
No more Dominos Or Shootin' Dice.
