I Got Mine Lyrics & Chords By Jim Kweskin

Well, I went down to a big crap game
Certainly was against my will
I lost every doggone nickel I had
But a greenback dollar bill
The boys had a bet layin' on the floor
And my buddy's point were nine
When the police come they got all a'them
But I got mine

I got mine, lemme tell ya, I got mine
I grabbed that money and out the backdoor, I went flyin'
Ever since that big crap game, I been livin' on chicken and wine
I'm a leader in high society, yeah, since I got mine

Now I went down to a turkey feast
And that dinner certainly was fine
Fifteen minutes 'fore the table was set
All the jitterbugs fell in line
When they brought them carboys in
Uncle Joe, how his eyes did shine
I mean, talk about wrestlin' and grabbin'
Now I got mine

Whoa, I got mine, lemme tell ya, I got mine
I grabbed that turkey and out the backdoor, I went flyin'
I tried to make it to a hidin' place
But I didn't get there in time
Some rascal grabbed me by my coat
And I got mine

Well, I went down to my best gal's house last night
And the hour was just about nine
I wasn't dressed up like Henry Ford
But I was feelin' just as fine
I caught her sitting on another rascal's lap
I didn't like that sign
I told that joker what I thought of him
And I got mine.

Yeah, I got mine, lemme tell ya, I got mine
I grabbed my coat and out the backdoor, I went flyin'
That joker grabbed a big shotgun
And he used it mighty fine
I mean, talk about a rascal runnin', yeah
Now I got mine

Say, I know a barbershop, down in town, it's over on North Fall Street
It's the only place on a Saturday night that we gamblers can all meet
Some come in for haircut, some come in for a scrap
When they see my buddy and me down there, we mean to shoot some crap
Holler "Seven, eleven, won't you come, come, come"
If you don't seven-eleven dice, I'm done, done, done
If I see the police 'fore he sees me, I'm gonna run, run, run
I'm a leader in high society, yeah, since I got mine
