That rain stopped falling
On this sleepy southern town
Broken night commenced flashing
Above the place where it all go down
They got the dope, women and gambling
A fine selection of that real cheap booze
They open for business
At St. Elmo's Room and Pool
Old black man, he got a golden tooth
He stood there watching by the door
He like a, some sleepy-eyed gator
Sunning his nose up on the shore
Young man with a brand new stick
He talking loud, I ain't nobody's fool
He gonna lose his money
At St. Elmo's Room and Pool
You know they got the women?
Oh man, they work the streets
They had the tight dresses all above their knees
They had this fifty dollar fur pieces, mmm-hmm
Acting classy as you please
Someone gonna win real big, you know
They get drunk and act like a fool
That's where the ladies are working now
At St. Elmo's Room and Pool
That's just how it was
At St. Elmo's Room and Pool
I'm gonna tell you
You're gonna be running out there on the street, man
Ooh, that's a very hard way to go
'Cause there's always someone just a little bit wiser
Than what you think you know
You gotta do unto others
Before they do it unto you
That's a golden-plated rule
At St. Elmo's Room and Pool
That's just how it was
Lord, at St. Elmo's Room and Pool
