A D
Well, now every time I'd roll them dice I'd win

And I was just gettin' ready to roll 'em again

When I heard something behind me I turned around and there was a big ol' cop

Said, "Looks like I'm gonna have to haul y'all in and
B7 E7 A E7
Keep all that money for evidence," and I said, "Son, when you're hot, you're hot"
