I'm a high straight in Plainview, side bet in Idalou

And a fresh deck in New Deal

Yeah, some call me high hand, some call me low hand
                           E
I'm holding what I am, the wheel
 
 
[Chorus]
E
I'm the panhandling, manhandling, post holing
                           A
High rolling, Dust Bowling daddy

And I ain't got no blood in my veins
                                          E
