The Ace in the Hole

The Ace in the Hole - Lee Wiley

This town is full of guys

Who think they're offly wise

Just because they know a thing or two

You see them nirty day

It's rorring up and down broadway

Telling of the wonders they can do

There's con men and there's boosters

There's cardman and crap shooters

They congregate around the metropole

They wear fancy ties and colers

But where do they get their Dallas

They all have got an ace down in the hole

Some of them saying

To the old folks for coin

That is their ace in the hole

And others have friends

On the old tenderloin

That's their ace in the hole

They'll tell you are trips that they're going to take

From florida to the north pole

But they is would be mud

Like a chump playing stud

If they lost that old ace down in the hole

They tender you have the money

Thet they me expand

And then they would flash the flash roll

They would be in the breadlight

Without close that the gye

If they lost that old ace in the hole
