6-3-8 (that's The Number To Play) Lyrics - Singles - Rufus Thomas

I woke up early this morning 

Hand in hand [Incomprehensible] 

The woman I love was at the head of my bed stand 

The landlord wanted his rent 

I went out on the corner 

To see what I could do 

I guess I get to play the races 

I'm passin' it on to you 

6-3-8 is the number today 

6-3-8 is the number you better play 

I don't believe in Gypsy's 

Readin' out the palm of my hand 

Don't believe in lady luck 

She just wouldn't understand

I believe in Joe 

Down by the Candy store 

You would too, good people 

If you know just what I know 

6-3-8 is the number today 

6-3-8 is the number you better play 

Yeah, you know 

Rusty is pretty fast 

I just wanna prove you could 

I do hope, you heard what I said 

'Cause there ain't no okay do 

There ain't no way for you to catch him 

That is plain to see 

But if you want to get your Rusty 

You better listen to me 

6-3-8 is the number to play 

6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today

Come on, come on now 

Come on, come on now 

Come on now 

6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today 

6-3-8 is the number you better play 

Come on, all y'all 

Come on, don't walk me y'all 

I said, come on y'all 

I said, come on y'all 

6-3-8 is the number you better play 

6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today 

I ain't lyin' 

I ain't lyin' 

6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today 

6-3-8 is the number you better play 

6-3-8 is the number you better play 

6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today 

6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today 

6-3-8 is the number you better play
