Rack 'em Up Lyrics - Singles - Lang Jonny

(written by Bruce McCabe) 

I used to hang out at Jack's Pool Hall 

you go down there and don't do nothin' at all 

if you wanted to play some cards there was a game in the back 

if you wanted to shoot or somethin' you went and talked to Jack 

if you had a little money you was a grade A fool 

there was a guy down there who used to shoot a little pool 

Rack 'em up 

till the day he was dead that all they ever said 

Rack 'em up 

He didn't own a TV set, didn't own a car 

he ate what whatever Jack was makin' back behind the bar 

they said he had a wife, but she left him in tears 

he hadn't been home in twenty five years 

Rack 'em up 

They came from all over thinkin' they were pretty hot 

put all their money on the table, wanna play the best we got 

nine in the corner, five in the side 

take a hundred dollar bill and just let it ride 

I tell him listen son, ain't no disaster 

there ain't no shame in being beat by a master 

Rack 'em up 

til the day he was gone they said it all day long 

Rack 'em up
