Chorus
Louisiana lou and three card monty john,
Oh lord, what a natural pair
Looking for a game, fortune and fame,
Waitin just a little farther down the road somewhere
Now three card monty is a gamblin game,
Two black aces and a pretty red queen,
Keep your eye on the lady and lay your money down,
Watch the fastest hand youve ever seen
Texas hustlin billy, lord hes on the road again,
He was seen in new orleans the other day,
Now lou is known as quite a man with a pool cue in his hand,
Wont be long til him and john were headed down that way
Chorus
It was friday night, lord the time was right,
Texas billy finally made his play,
The game went on into the night and just about dawn,
They were counting bills money lord, headed for la
Chorus
Waitin just a little farther down the road somewhere
