Lyrics

[Verse 1] I woke up early this mornin' I didn't have a ten cents The woman I love was at the head of my bed Sayin' the landlord wanted his rent I went out on the corner To see what I could do I decided to play the races I'm passin' it on to you 6-3-8 is the number today 6-3-8 is the number you better play [Verse 2] I don't believe in gypsies Readin' out the palm of my hand Don't believe in lady luck She just wouldn't understand I believe in Joe Down by the candy store You would too, good people If you know just what I know 6-3-8 is the number today 6-3-8 is the number you better play Yeah, you know [Verse 3] Rusty is pretty fast I just wanna pull your coat I do hope, you heard what I said 'Cause it ain't no okie-doke There ain't no way for you to catch it That is plain to see But if you want to get your Rusty You better listen to me 6-3-8 is the number to play 6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today Come on, come on now Come on, come on now Come on now 6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today 6-3-8 is the number you better play Come on y'all Come on, don't walk the dog I said, come on y'all I said, come on y'all 6-3-8 is the number you better play 6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today I ain't lyin' I ain't lyin' 6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today
