Lucky from Oklahoma Lottery by Karen Jonas

I got five cards not one is an ace you’re gonna trump me baby I can see it on your face you might have better cards but darling you’re givin’ yourself away • A couple kids in the back shootin’ dice you can’t count on nothin’ but luck and I never had enough to count, so I’m gonna sit playin’ poker til my money runs out • You can call me lucky but you never seen the way I took to get here look at me losin’ again • Now, big Jim does run this town he owns this place and a couple around I never crossed him yet but you know once I came awful close • It was Friday at the table and I drank a few bet my twenty and man did I lose I came up short on Jim at the bar someone spotted me the money but the payback was hard • You came lookin’ for something that you probably didn’t find spent your money had a pretty good time called your shots and rolled the dice but I bet you don’t want to do me right • The boys are all hot on Rose at the bar she starts fixin’em drinks about seven o’clock some of ‘em come just to sit and watch she turns and smiles and pours their shots • She’s got big holes in the front of her jeans her shirt’s so tight you can see when she breathes they say she never kisses a man once she pours him a drink that’s why they talk to me • I don’t know why I bet ‘cause I’m losin’ again
