Bo Carter Policy Blues
Hey I wonder : where is that policy right man [at] now
I done lose all my money shooting craps : and I can't win
no money nohow
I'm going to put my last dime : on the twenty thirty and
the little old ten
Because they tell me that's my baby's initial : and it
ought bring my money back home again
I'm going to play them straight across : man you know
[I'm playing, I got] them straight down
Now policy man my number's done come out : bring me
twenty‑seven dollars on around
I'm going to put a four bit piece : back on the twenty
thirty and the little old ten
And if them numbers come out man : it'll bring my money
back right again
Policy man if my numbers come out : don't fool around on
the street
Just cut across on St Lawrence Avenue : and bring my
money on home to me
