Willie Nelson - Playin' Dominoes and Shootin' Dice lyrics

Once I knowed a guitar picker, lived his life on wine and liquor Runnin' around in one of them new machines He was about the proudest feelin', wheelin', dealin' Sneakin', stealin', aggravatin' man I've ever seen Nothin' but a midnight rambler, biggest drunkard and a gambler He'd do anything that wasn't nice Huntin', golfin', fishin', swimmin', runnin' around with other women Playin' dominoes and shootin' dice Then one night as he was dinin', while the moon was brightly shinin' With his secret love he was so gay He would laugh and call her 'Honey' while she proudly spent his money As they hugged and smooched the time away Laughin', jokin', dinin', dancin' Plannin' parties and romancin', havin' fun regardless of the price Eatin' caviar and chicken, strummin' his guitar and pickin' Playin' dominoes and shootin' dice Then his wife walked in and found him with that pretty girl around him Started makin' headway for the gate When he seen those girls dividin', he commenced to slip and slidin' But he seemed to know it was too late Crowds began to gettin' thinner, they jumped up and left their dinner No one seemed to have an appetite Not a person dare defend her, everyone jumped out the window No one hung around to see the fight Then she grabbed him by the collar, he commenced to squeal and holler As she plastered him betwixt the eyes And then his old guitar she swung it, o'er his head she proudly hung it Bruises, knots and bumps began to rise He leapt up and tried to squeeze her, but she warped 'cross the beezer Pulled a pistol and shot him once or twice When the wicked fight was over, he was laid beneath the clover No more dominoes and shootin' dice
