Policy Wheel Blues - Kokomo Arnold

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 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

Crying oh, look what that greyhound have done to me

Says it done took all my money, and but it still won’t let me be

Now when you change your numbers, play thirteen thirty‑two and fifty‑one

But be careful buddy, because you might have to run

Crying oh, look what that policy wheel 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 buddy, play five nine and fifty‑nine

But be careful buddy, because you might lose your mind

Crying oh, look what that coal field have done to me

Says it done took all my money, and but it still won’t let me be

Now ask you three about gambling, play eleven seventeen and sixty‑one

If they don’t give you your money, go buy you a gatling gun

Crying oh, look what that greyhound have done to me

Says it done took all my money, and but it still won’t let me be

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

Crying oh, look what that policy wheel have done to me

Says it done took all my money, and but it still won’t let me be

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

Crying oh, look what that policy wheel have done to me

Says it done took all my money, and but it still won’t let me be
