Ralph Hodges - Ace In The Hole lyrics

rate me

Now this town is full of guys<br />

Who think they're mighty wise<br />

Just because they know a thing or two<br />

<br />

You can see them everyday<br />

Strolling up and down Broadway<br />

Telling of the wonders they can do<br />

<br />

Well, there's conmen and there's boosters<br />

Card sharks and crap shooters<br />

They congregate around the Metropole<br />

<br />

They wear fancy ties and collars<br />

But where they get their dollars<br />

While they all got an ace in the hole<br />

<br />

Some of them write to the old folks for coin<br />

Well, that's their old ace in the hole<br />

Others have gals on the old Tenderloin<br />

Well, that's their old ace in the hole<br />

<br />

They'll tell you all the trips<br />

That they are going to take<br />

From 'Frisco up to that old North Pole<br />

<br />

Now their names would be mud<br />

Like a old chump playing stud<br />

If they lost that old ace in the hole<br />

<br />

Now some of them write to the old folks for coin<br />

And lets their old ace in the hole<br />

And others well, they have gals on the old Tenderloin<br />

And that's their old ace in the hole<br />

<br />

Well, they'll tell you all the trips<br />

That they are going to take<br />

From 'Frisco up to that old North Pole<br />

<br />

Now their names would be mud<br />

Like a chump playing stud<br />

If they lost that old ace in the hole<br />

If they lost that old ace in the hole
