Lay Your Money Down

Lyrics

Like a moth unto a candle, drawn down to the light
 She's a diamond set in jet they say she's a Shamrock City night
 Matthew Mark Luke and John your belfry color fades
 With each step down Wyoming street and down to Clipper Shades
 Drinks are on the house here Sonny the sweetest deal in town,
 You can't take it with you honey so lay your money down.
 A Dollar gets you in my friend to shake the hand of sleight
 Lady Luck is up on the tables this Shamrock City night
 Careful if you're rolling high how hard the mighty fall
 Old Callahan the bum thinks this is where he lost it all
 A queen don't beat a jack here Sonny it's just that kind of town
 Are you thinkin' red or black now honey just lay your money down
 Bow to Shoestring Annie she barks worse than she bites
 Her tongue will lash damnation blue this Shamrock City night
 Scoop for Colonel Buckets hasn't backed a loser yet
 He's got one eye on the table has he spied his Juliette
 Double up your stack now Sonny she's out there on the town
 Luck says don't look back now honey just lay your money down
 Luck says don't look back now honey just lay your money down
 Jump from Fat Jack's carriage onto the little streets
 Who's daily bread to spin your head and knock you off your feet
 Come let Spanish Rose and me make all your wrongs seem right
 It's heaven in a wallet skin on a Shamrock City night
 Lie here on your back now Sonny and dream of Swinford town
 I'll be your sweetheart for one hour just lay your money down
 Drinks are on the house here Sonny
 You can't take it with you honey
 A queen beats a jack here Sonny
 Are you thinkin' red or black now honey
 Double up your stack now Sonny
 Luck says don't look back now honey
 Lay your money
 Lay your money
 Lay your money down
 Lay your money
 Lay your money
 Lay your money down
