  Verse #2

 Back in the 30's when the dust bowl dried and the woods of Alabama didn't see no light
 My daddy played poker by a hardwood fire, squeezing all his luck from a hot copper wire
 Scrap like a wildcat, fights till the end. Trap a wildcat and take its skin
 Deal from the bottom, put the ace in the hole
 One hand on the jug, but you never do know

 Through the shadows of the cage around the 40 watt light

      Bb majorBb                         FF
 with the same skin stretched over their white bones and the same jug in their hand

  Verse #3

 My daddy played poker on a stump in the woods back when the world was gray
 Before black and white went and chose up sides and gave a little bit of both their way
 The only blood that's any cleaner is the blood that's blue or greener
 Without either you just get meaner and the blood you gave gives you away
