THREE ARMED, POKER-PLAYIN' RIVER RAT
As recorded by The Everly Brothers
(From the 1972 Album STORIES WE COULD TELL)
[Intro]
D C G D
[Verse 1]
G
In the summertime in 1861
C
And I was livin' near to Cairo town
G D
Only 20 years old when I stepped aboard the River Queen
G
Well a man walked up in a shiny blue suit
C
He said “Son you wanna play some cards?”
G D G
It was the three-armed poker playin' river rat from New Orleans
[Verse 2]
G
Well we sat down to play a little game of Black Jack
C
And the folks how they gathered round
G D
And then he started to deal so fast my head commenced to spin
G
In one hand he had a drink
G
In one hand he had a smoke
C
In one hand he had a royal flush
G D G
Dirty three-armed poker playin' river rat from New Orleans
[Guiatr Solo]
C G C G D
[Verse 3]
G
You know I played ‘til I was broke
G
Then I upped and walked away
C
To have a talk with a gal I'd found
G D
For to get some sympathy for way the stranger treated me
G
Well he walked up as bold as brass
G
Put two arms around her waist
C
And with the other hand he knocked me down
G D G
I hate the three-armed poker playin' river rat from New Orleans
[Guitar Solo]
C G C D
[Verse 4]
G
And now morning has come to rolling River Queen
C
Where the gamblin' man slept last night
G D
Folks say he fell overboard, and was washed out to sea
G C G
And here I'm sitting here in a shiny blue suit
C
Just a-grinnin' like a crazy fool
G D G
Kinda wonderin' what to do with the other sleeve
D F G
I hate that three-armed poker playin' river rat from New Orleans
