Split Myself In Two

the man laid his hat on the table

hung his coat up on the wall

sat down to dinner

said as soon as i am able

i'll say something nice to you all



then he took a deck from his pocket

spread em so i saw 'em all

then he turned his back to me shuffled 'em and drew me

the card that said i never would fall



oh mary lou won't you tell me what to do

i got a dollar on the corner and a lazer in my shoe

if i don't get an answer

gonna split myself in two



he spun 'till a ton was glistening

turned to me and gave me a smile

he said i'm leaving now

but i want what you owe me

i'll be back in a little while



that was the last time i saw him

hope i never see him again

i know it sounds funny

but i owe him some money

and i really don't want him for a friend
