Said I went down to a little crap game Lord that was against my will
I lost every penny that I had in my pocket but a greenback dollar bill
I turned my head (get to shook my shoulders)
Thinkin I was way behind
But just as they jumped in the kitchen door, boys
I got mine

I got mine, I got mine
Stand round here tryin a get some (goody) all the time   
Ever since then I been livin high
I been livin on the chicken and wine
Said I belong to the knockdown society but
I got mine.

Now when the turkey was brought in
(Then) the people all begin to grin
Now think about the good times all would have
They couldn't say exactly when
So the man got the turkey right by the nape but I swung on behind
He might thought he had the whole fowl and gone but
I got mine

I got mine, boys, I got mine
Around here tryin' a get some (good eat) all the time   
Since then I been livin high
I been livin on the chicken and wine
Said I belong to the grab society but
I got mine.


So I went off to work early one morning
That (certainly) never did suit me
While the (????) and my old lady
Sittin on some other man's knee
So I (??) (my bailey) right across her head
And he jumped up and cryin'
Ah you can fright your old lady doggone your soul but
I got mine

I got mine, I got mine
Around here tryin' a get some (goodies) all the time   
Said ever since then I been livin high
I been livin on the chicken and wine
Said I belong to the knockdown society but
I got mine.

I went uptown to a little crap game
(?) some other policemen (?)
The man looked at me never cracked a smile
I couldn't get this fellow to (a ?)
So he throwed the dice out on the floor
And the (thing?) got (fine?) like nine
But just as the police jumped in the back door, Lord
I got mine

I got mine, I got mine
Around here tryin' a get some (goodies) all the time   
Since then I been livin high
I been livin on the chicken and wine
Said I belong to that knockdown society but
I got mine.
