Luyện nghe bài hát Darktown Poker Club

Bill was a poor old dub,
Who joined the Poker Club
But cursed the day he told he would join.
His money to go like it had wings
If he held Queens, had Kings
And each night he contribute all his coins.
He said I'm going to play em tonight
No bobtail flush is gonna me bite
When I in, my hands going to be a peach.
So he em tight, but lost his pile
And Bill got after a while
So he rose, got up, and this speech.

He said - Now you all see this new razor
I've had it sharpened just
And I'm comin''- in my own rules
That you must as you play.
Now them boney hands on the table when you deal'em please
And don't be slipp'en any aces down there in between knees.
And don't make any of them funny signs like trying to tip off your hand
talk in American, boy American - so's I can understand.
And don't be dealing off the bottom, cause Oh! that's
take Five, Five - then stop, that's enough.
Now when you bet, put up them chips, I don't like it when you shy.
If you get - go get some, cause I won't be here by & by.
Pass them for me to shuffle every time before you deal
Then if wrong, I must see.
Cause you ain't going to play game according to Mr. Hoyle,
You're to play this here game according to me.

Now sitting right at that there clan
There chanced to be a one man
And Bill watching from the corner of his eye.
If ol' one-eye would deal'em
It would have cost that Bill another or ten.
So he rose, looked all around and a sigh,
He 'Lord' he said - but it's an awful shame,
But there's someone cheating in this here
Of course it don't do for me to the guy.
So I'll from mentioning the party's name
But if I catch him cheating just again
I'm gonna take my fist and close that eye.

Now you all see this new razor
Well I've had it sharpened today
I'm comin' in my own rules
That you must when you play. - Egad
Keep your hands up there when you please
And don't be puttin' those wildies slip in between knees.
And don't make funny signs like your trying to tip off your hand
Just talk American - Big A-A-A I can understand.
And don't be off the bottom, cause I've told you before - that's rough!
This is the Army game, Five, Five - halt, that's enough.
When you bet, let's see Reds and Blues, cause I don't like it when you shy.
If you run out of gas - go get pumped up, I be here by & by.
Pass them pasteboards for me to shuffle every before you deal - let me ripple.
wrong, I wanna see.
I mean you gonna play this game now according to Mr. Hoyle,
You're going to play this game to me.
Henry, if you break the seal on them new set of - we'll go on from here....Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
