paroles de chanson The Hustler - Ray Stevens
It
was
a
cool
night
in
Dallas
At
the
southside
nine
ball
palace
When
I
stepped
in
off
the
sidewalk
With
my
pool
cue
in
my
hand
I
said
"I've
come
for
Texas
Slim
We're
gonna
shoot
nine
ball
me
and
him
And
tonight
we're
gonna
see
who
is
the
better
man."
Well
I've
heard
he
used
to
be
the
best
And
I've
already
beaten
all
the
rest
From
New
York
to
Chicago
and
L.A.
They
say
that
he's
the
king
of
hustlers
An
old
time
Texas
pool
hall
rustler
And
ain't
he
the
man
that
used
to
say:
Never
make
it
look
too
easy
when
you
break
'em
Get
all
the
money
out
on
the
table
Then
take
time
to
chalk
and
aim
Don't
take
pity
on
'em,
southern
son,
just
take
'em
'Cause
if
you
can't
afford
to
lose
Then
you
should
never
play
the
game
Then
out
of
the
shadows
dim
Stepped
what
once
was
Texas
Slim
He
was
ripped,
worn
and
ragged
Kinda
rundown
at
the
heel
He
said
"it's
been
a
long
time
son
Since
I've
shot
pool
with
anyone
But
I'll
play
you
one
game
if
that's
the
way
you
feel."
He
was
a
pitiful
looking
man
With
a
three
day
beard
and
a
trembling
hand
Had
to
take
him
a
shot
of
whiskey
to
ease
the
shakes
I
said
"I've
come
to
take
you
for
all
you've
got
And
it
don't
matter
if
it
ain't
a
lot
And
just
to
show
you
I'm
a
sportin'
man
you
can
have
the
break."
And
then
a
smile
crossed
the
face
Of
every
pool
shark
in
that
place
As
slim
took
down
his
custom
inlaid
pool
cue
from
its
stand
He
said
"I've
heard
for
days
that
you
were
comin'
With
your
pockets
full
and
your
young
mouth
runnin'
And
tonight
we're
gonna
find
out
who
is
the
better
man."
Then
all
I
heard
were
cue
balls
crack,
Nine
balls
fall
and
Slim
say
"Rack!"
And
he
kept
the
run
till
all
my
money
was
gone
And
then
he
looked
at
me
with
those
eyes
of
ice
And
said
"son
I'll
just
leave
you
with
this
advice
To
ponder
as
you
hitchhike
your
way
back
home:
"
Never
make
it
look
too
easy
when
you
break
'em
Get
all
the
money
out
on
the
table
Then
take
time
to
chalk
and
aim
Don't
take
pity
on
'em,
southern
son,
just
take
'em
'Cause
if
you
can't
afford
to
lose
Then
you
should
never
play
the
game
Never
make
it
look
too
easy
when
you
break
'em
Get
all
the
money
out
on
the
table
Then
take
time
to

and

Don't
take

'em,
southern
son,
just
take
'em
'Cause
if
you
can't
afford
to
lose
Then
you
should
never
play
the
game
