Policy Wheel Blues Lyrics

Now while you playing policy buddy, play four eleven and forty‑four
When you get your money, then pack your bags and go
Crying oh, look what that policy wheel have done to me
Says it done took all my money, and but it still won't let me be

Now while you playing policy, play four eighteen and fifty‑six
You can pile up your black money,
Because you sure going to get it fixed
Crying oh, look what that greyhound have done to me
Says it done took all my money, and but it still won't let me be


Now when you change your numbers,
Play thirteen thirty‑two and fifty‑one
But be careful buddy, because you might have to run
Crying oh, look what that policy wheel have done to me
Says it done took all my money, and but it still won't let me be

Now while you playing policy buddy, play five nine and fifty‑nine
But be careful buddy, because you might lose your mind
Crying oh, look what that coal field have done to me
Says it done took all my money, and but it still won't let me be

Now ask you three about gambling, play eleven seventeen and sixty‑one
If they don't give you your money, go buy you a gatling gun
Crying oh, look what that greyhound have done to me
Says it done took all my money, and but it still won't let me be

Now if you wake up in the morning, ain't got nothing on your mind
Play that old country number, that you call three sixty‑nine
Crying oh, look what that policy wheel have done to me
Says it done took all my money, and but it still won't let me be

Now you can break out your windows, and look down at your glass
Think you going to get my money mama, that's your yas yas yas
Crying oh, look what that policy wheel have done to me
Says it done took all my money, and but it still won't let me be
