Doug MacLeod - St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool lyrics

A light rain stopped fallin', on a sleepy southern town A broken night commenced to flashing, above the place where it all went down Dope, women, and gamblin', a fine selection of real cheap booze They open for business at St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool Old black man with a golden tooth, stood watching by the door He like some sleepy-eyed gator, sunnin' his nose on the shore Young man with a brand new stick, talking loud he nobody's fool Gonna' loose his money at St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool Women of the street, tight dresses above their knees Then got $50 fur pieces, acting cla**y as you please Some one gonna' win real big, get drunk, and act like a fool That's why they working St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool That's just how it was at St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool Running on the street, sure's a hard way to go There's always somebody wiser than what you think you know Do unto others, before they do it unto you That's the golden plated rule at St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool That's just how it was at St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool
