6-3-8 (That's the Number to Play)

Текст песни Rufus Thomas - 6-3-8 (That's the Number to Play)

[Verse 1]
I woke up early this mornin'
I didn't have a ten cents
The woman I love was at the head of my bed
Sayin' the landlord wanted his rent
I went out on the corner
To see what I could do
I decided 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

[Verse 2]
I don't believe in gypsies
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

[Verse 3]
Rusty is pretty fast
I just wanna pull your coat
I do hope, you heard what I said
'Cause it ain't no okie-doke
There ain't no way for you to catch it
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 y'all
Come on, don't walk the dog
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
