Split Myself in Two

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Oh, Mary Lou, won't you tell me what to do? I got a dollar on the corner and a laser in my shoe If I don't get an answer, gonna split myself in two [Verse 2] He spun 'til a ton was glistening He turned to me and gave me a smile He said, "I'm leaving 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 And I know it sounds funny but I owe him some money Really don't want him for a friend [Chorus] Oh, Mary Lou, won't you tell me what to do? I got a dollar on the corner and a laser in my shoe If I don't get an answer, gonna split myself in two [Instrumental break] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Oh, Mary Lou, won't you tell me what to do? I got a dollar on the corner and a laser in my shoe If I don't get an answer, I'll split myself in two
