The reason I like the game, the game they call Georgia Skin1
The reason I like the game, the game they call Georgia Skin
Because when you fall, you can really take out again
When you lose your money, please don't lose your mind
When you lose your money, please don't lose your mind
Because each and every gambler gets in hard luck sometime
I had a man, he gambles all the time
I had a man, he gambles all the time
He throw the dice so in vain until he like to lose his mind
Hmmm, give me Georgia Skin
Hmmm, give me Georgia Skin
Because the women's can play, well, so as the men
(spoken:
Georgia Skin is the best game that I know
Georgia Skin is the game that I bet all of my money)

Note: this song was derived in part from Walter Beasley's song Georgia Skin. Gambling was and still is illegal in many states and most of its forms. That didn't keep people from playing a "friendly" game of cards or roll the dices despite the risk of finding themselves in jail or on a road gang for a week, month or year;
Note 1: Georgia skin, a swindling game or trick.
