The Mighty Regis - 21 Patty Finn lyrics

rate me

On the road to Vegas gonna try me Irish luck<br />

Left L.A. behind me set to bet a couple bucks<br />

Hit the town of bright lights maybe get some sinnin' in<br />

Hope the wins come easy like they do for Patty Finn<br />

<br />

(Chorus)<br />

So bet the doggies and ponies play yer cards and roll them dice<br />

They say the boys a sure thing go bet the bastard twice<br />

Take my U.S. dollars and deal this fella in<br />

I'll be rollin' in the green stuff like our man Patty Finn<br />

<br />

Fifty on a slot machiine two hundred playin' craps<br />

The sun is settin' on my dreams and someone's playing T.A.P.S.<br />

Got busted up at poker and I'm bleeding like a wound<br />

Took my chances with Lady Luck and got me wee arse tuned<br />

<br />

(Chorus)<br />

<br />

Who's the patron saint of gamblin'?<br />

Who's a-watchin' over me?<br />

Who's got a dime I can borrow?<br />

Who's my savior gonna be?<br />

Why can't I find a clock in here?<br />

Why won't they ever let me win?<br />

Why didn't me mother name me<br />

Good ol' Patty Finn?<br />

<br />

I shoulda left an hour ago, gotta get right out this place<br />

I thought I had that joker beat but he flopped that second ace<br />

I got one more chance dear blackjack can't watch I'm fuckin' done<br />

Patty must be in the room I just hit twenty-one<br />

<br />

(Chorus)<br />

<br />
