| Song Lyrics: |
Son, well now, me and Homer Jones and Big John Talley
Had a big crap game goin' back in the alley
And I kept rollin' them sevens and winnin' all them pots
My luck was good. I could do no wrong
I just kept on rollin' and controllin' them bones
Fin'ly they just threw up their hands and said
When you're hot, you're hot, I said, yeah
When you're hot, you're hot and when you're not, you're not
Put all the money in and let's roll 'em again when you're hot, you're hot
(La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la when you're hot, you're hot)
Well, now every time I rolled 'em dice, I'd win
And I would just get ready to roll 'em again
When I heard somethin' behind me; I turned around and there was a big ole cop
He said, "Hello boy" and he gave us a grin
Said, "Looks like I'm gonna have to haul you all in"
And keep all that money for evidence. I said, "Well son, when you're hot, you're hot"
He said, "When you're hot, you're hot and when you're not, you're not
You can 'splain it all down at city hall. When you're hot you're hot"
(La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la when you're hot, you're hot)
Well, when he took us into court; I could believe my eyes
The judge was a fishin' buddy that I recognized
I said, "Hey judge, old buddy, old pal.
I'll pay you that hundred I owe you if you get me out of this spot"
So he gave my friend a little fine to pay
He turned around and grinned at me and said,
"Ninety days Jerry. When you're hot, you're hot." I said, "Thanks a lot"
When you're hot, you're hot and when you're not, you're not
You let my friend go free and threw the book at me
He said, "Well, when you're hot, you're hot"
I said, "Well, I tell you one thing judge, old buddy, old pal
If you wasn't wearin' that black robe I'd pick you up by this courthouse
And I'd try a little bit of you on my own, you understand that
Do you hear me who's gonna collect my welfare? Take over my Cadillac?"
(I B Emerson) |
