Lyrics
OL' WOOLY DAN
Old Wooly Dan, he paid the price
For gamblin' broke and with loaded dice
You know they say it's a shame
But no-one cries just the same
They say the odds favor the house
But that's just wisdom from some other's mouth
When you're not worth a buck
You're out there pushin' your luck
Ol' Satan he's out to try to get you
And when he does he's never gonna turn you loose
So take 'em up, shake 'em up, and throw those dice
The last roll you pay with your life
He was buried deep at the table of craps
Thinkin' just one more roll and perhaps
I'll make my money back
Then he pulled a butt from his pack
Ol' Satan he's out to try to get you
And when he does he's never gonna turn you loose
So take 'em up, shake 'em up, and throw those dice
The last roll you pay with your life
The ruckus started just after the roll
When someone said let the cheat pay the toll
And then out came a knife
The last roll was paid with Dan's life
