歌曲名 Ace In The Hole

歌手名 Bunk Johnson/Lu Watters' Yerba Buena Jazz Band

This town is full of guys

Who think they're mighty wise

Just because they know a thing or two

Why you can see them everyday

Strolling up and down Broadway

Telling of the wonders they can do

You see why conmen and boosters

Card sharks and crap shooters

They congregate around the Metropole

They wear fancy ties and collars

But where they get their dollars

They all got an ace down in the hole

Now some of them write to the old folks for coin

And that's their ace in the hole

But others have gals on the old Tenderloin

And that's their ace in the hole

They'll tell you of money

They're made and they're spent

But they never can buy a bankroll

And their names would be mud

Like a chump dealing stud

If they lost that old ace in the hole

They'll tell you all the trips

They are going to make

From 'Frisco up to that North Pole

But they'd end up on that line

In their clothes not a dime

If they lost that old ace in the hole
