Policy Wheel Blues Lyrics

Kokomo Arnold Policy Wheel Blues

Now while you playing policy buddy : play four eleven
and forty‑four
When you get your money : then pack your bags and go


Crying oh : look what that [policy wheel, coal‑field,
greyhound] have done to me
Says it done took all my money : and but it still won't
let me be


Now while you playing policy : play four eighteen and
fifty‑six
You can pile up your black money : because you sure
going to get it fixed


Now when you change your numbers : play thirteen
thirty‑two and fifty‑one
But be careful buddy : because you might have to run


Now while you playing policy buddy : play five nine and
fifty‑nine
But be careful buddy : because you might lose your mind


Now *ask you to* about gambling : play eleven seventeen
and sixty‑one
If they don't give you your money : go buy you a
gatling gun


Now if you wake up in the morning : ain't got nothing
on your mind
Play that old country number : that you call three
sixty‑nine


Now you can break out your windows : and look down at
your glass
Think you going to get my money mama : that's your yas
yas yas
