Dirty Hand

You know it felt like the end of a long hard day

I couldn't laugh so I nearly cried

Another night in another hotel room

Is breaking me up inside

And the boy said: "Hey mister

Sir, I got a call for you

She wanna leave her name and number

She's trying to get through to you"

It was a dirty hand she dealt me

You know it felt like a killer blow

But if it hadn't been for that dirty hand

I guess I'd never know about a dirty hand

I caught you sitting in this big old town

Looking at the telephone

It was a question I could not answer

'Cause you knew I wasn't sent at home

You said: "If you're going nowhere

Would you like to come out and play?"

So I jumped into a long black limousine

Prepare to my dying day

Dirty hand she dealt me

You know it felt like a killer blow

But if it hadn't been for that dirty hand

I guess I'd never know about a dirty hand

I'm drinking to a little something else

Soon I'm having quite a ball

Forget about the morning, how about tonight

I guess I didn't mind at all

And if you think it's kind of funny

And I tell you that's all right

You see she left me with no money

But more than I had last night

Dirty hand she dealt me

You know it felt like a killer blow

But if it hadn't been for that dirty hand

I guess I'd never know about a dirty hand

It was a dirty hand

It was a dirty hand

A dirty hand

A dirty hand

You know it was such a dirty hand

You know it was a dirty hand

You know it was a dirty hand

You know it's such a dirty hand

It's a dirty hand

It was dirty hand

You know it's a dirty hand

You know it was such a dirty hand
