D MajorD
Well here's what happens when you fall for a pistol
No no I don't mean no gun

I'm talkin' 'bout a man with bells and whistles

The kind that keeps your heart on the run

I met that cat in a two-bit juke joint
Took my money in a game of pool

Playin' my heart

* Things in parentheses are small bridges or passages that add something to the tune.
* Weird song that is both straight and shuffle and in between at the same time.
