Policy Blues (1940) - Bo Carter

Hey I wonder: Where is that policy right man 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

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
