Luyện nghe bài hát Darktown Poker Club

Bill Jackson was a old dub,
Who joined the Darktown Poker
But cursed the day he told them he join.
His money to go like it had wings
If he held Queens, had Kings
And night he would contribute all his coins.
He said I'm going to play em tight
No flush is gonna make me bite
I get's 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 brand new
I've had it just today
And I'm in with my own rules
you must follow as you play.
Now keep them boney hands on the table when you please
And don't be slipp'en any aces down there in your knees.
And don't make any of them funny like your trying to tip off your hand
Just talk in American, boy American - I can understand.
And don't be dealing off the bottom, Oh! that's rough
Just take Five, Five - then stop, enough.
Now when you bet, put up them chips, cause I like it when you shy.
If you get busted - go get some, cause I won't be by & by.
them cards for me to shuffle every time before you deal
Then if wrong, I must see.
Cause you ain't going to play this according to Mr. Hoyle,
You're going to this here game according to me.

Now sitting there at that there clan
chanced to be a one eyed man
And Bill watching from the corner of his eye.
If ol' one-eye would then
It would have that Bill another five or ten.
So he rose, looked all and with a sigh,
He said 'Lord' he said - but an awful shame,
But there's someone cheating in this here
Of course it do for me to name the guy.
So I'll refrain from mentioning the party's
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
I've had it sharpened just today
I'm comin' in with my own
That you follow when you play. - Egad
your hands up there when you deal'em please
And don't be puttin' those slip in between your knees.
And don't make them signs like your trying to tip off your hand
Just talk American - Big so's I can understand.
And don't be takin' off the bottom, cause I've 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 won't be by & by.
Pass them for me to shuffle every time before you deal - let me ripple.
wrong, I wanna see.
I mean you gonna play this game now according to Mr. Hoyle,
going to play this game according to me.
Henry, if you break the seal on them new set of - we'll go on from here....Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
