Playin' Dominoes And Shootin' Dice Lyrics - Willie Nelson

Once I knowed a guitar picker, lived his life on wine and liquor 

Runnin' around in one of them new machines 

He was about the proudest feelin', wheelin', dealin' 

Sneakin', stealin', aggravatin' man I've ever seen 

Nothin' but a midnight rambler, biggest drunkard and a gambler 

He'd do anything that wasn't nice 

Huntin', golfin', fishin', swimmin', runnin' around with other women 

Playin' dominoes and shootin' dice 

Then one night as he was dinin', while the moon was brightly shinin' 

With his secret love he was so gay 

He would laugh and call her 'Honey' while she proudly spent his money 

As they hugged and smooched the time away

Laughin', jokin', dinin', dancin' 

Plannin' parties and romancin', havin' fun regardless of the price 

Eatin' caviar and chicken, strummin' his guitar and pickin' 

Playin' dominoes and shootin' dice 

Then his wife walked in and found him with that pretty girl around him 

Started makin' headway for the gate 

When he seen those girls dividin', he commenced to slip and slidin' 

But he seemed to know it was too late 

Crowds began to gettin' thinner, they jumped up and left their dinner 

No one seemed to have an appetite 

Not a person dare defend her, everyone jumped out the window 

No one hung around to see the fight 

Then she grabbed him by the collar, he commenced to squeal and holler 

As she plastered him betwixt the eyes 

And then his old guitar she swung it, o'er his head she proudly hung it 

Bruises, knots and bumps began to rise 

Photos 

He leapt up and tried to squeeze her, but she warped 'cross the beezer 

Pulled a pistol and shot him once or twice 

When the wicked fight was over, he was laid beneath the clover 

No more dominoes and shootin' dice
