Текст песни Policy Blues (Take 2) (Jim Jackson) с переводом

Have you ever taken a chance with the policy game?

Have you ever taken a chance with the policy game?

You play three numbers see what you can gain

If you should lose don’t get mad at all

If you should lose don’t get mad at all

You sure can’t win unless your number’s called

I’ve got the policy blues, I ain’t got no money to play

I’ve got the policy blues, I ain’t got no money to play

I know my number will fall today

I woke up in the morning with one thin dime

I woke up in the morning with one thin dime

This policy man gets that before the clock strikes nine

Then I sit around hungry the rest of the day

Then I sit around hungry the rest of the day

Waitin' for him to come back with your plate

I tell you what all the boys on Beale Street know

I tell you what all the boys on Beale Street know

It’s the black man in the train and 4−11−44

They almost cursed when the drawing come back

They almost cursed when the drawing come back

That policy man sure can shake a weekend sack
