Lay Your Money Down Songtext

von Solas

Like a moth unto a candle, drawn down to the light
She's a diamond set in jet they say she's a Shamrock City night
Matthew Mark Luke and John your belfry color fades
With each step down Wyoming street and down to Clipper Shades
Drinks are on the house here Sonny the sweetest deal in town,
You can't take it with you honey so lay your money down.
A Dollar gets you in my friend to shake the hand of sleight
Lady Luck is up on the tables this Shamrock City night
Careful if you're rolling high how hard the mighty fall
Old Callahan the bum thinks this is where he lost it all
A queen don't beat a jack here Sonny it's just that kind of town
Are you thinkin' red or black now honey just lay your money down
Bow to Shoestring Annie she barks worse than she bites
Her tongue will lash damnation blue this Shamrock City night
Scoop for Colonel Buckets hasn't backed a loser yet
He's got one eye on the table has he spied his Juliette
Double up your stack now Sonny she's out there on the town
Luck says don't look back now honey just lay your money down
Luck says don't look back now honey just lay your money down
Jump from Fat Jack's carriage onto the little streets
Who's daily bread to spin your head and knock you off your feet
Come let Spanish Rose and me make all your wrongs seem right
It's heaven in a wallet skin on a Shamrock City night
Lie here on your back now Sonny and dream of Swinford town
I'll be your sweetheart for one hour just lay your money down
Drinks are on the house here Sonny
You can't take it with you honey
A queen beats a jack here Sonny
Are you thinkin' red or black now honey
Double up your stack now Sonny
Luck says don't look back now honey
Lay your money
Lay your money
Lay your money down
Lay your money
Lay your money
Lay your money down
