Rack 'Em Up

I used to hang out down at Jack's Pool Hall You go down there and don't do nothin' at all You wanted to play some cards there was a game in the back If you wanted a shot of somethin', you went and talked to Jack If you had a little money, and you was a grade A fool There was a guy down there who used to shoot a little pool Rack 'em up Rack 'em up Rack 'em up Rack 'em up 'Til the day he was dead that's all they ever said was Rack 'em up He didn't own a TV set, didn't own no car He ate whatever Jack was makin' back behind the bar They said he had a wife, but she left him in tears He hasn't been home once in 25 years Rack 'em up Rack 'em up, yeah-yeah-yeah They'd come from all over thinkin' they was pretty hot Put their money on the table, wanna play the best we got Nine in the corner, five in the side He'd take a hundred dollar bill and just let it ride I'd tell 'em, "Listen here Sonny, there ain't no disaster There ain't no shame in being beaten by a master" Rack 'em up Rack 'em up Rack 'em up Rack 'em up Rack 'em up 'Til the day he was gone they said it all day long Rack 'em up
