Lyrics Ace in the Hole - Lonnie Donegan
This
town
is
full
of
guys
Who
think
they′re
mighty
wise,
Just
because
they
know
a
thing
or
two.
You
see
them
every
day
Walkin'
up
and
down
Broadway,
Telling
of
the
wonders
they
can
do.
There′s
con
men
and
there's
boosters,
Card
sharks
and
crap-shooters.
They
congregate
around
the
Metropole.
They
wear
fancy
ties
and
laces,
But
where
do
they
get
their
aces?
They
all
have
got
an
ace
down
in
the
hole!
Some
of
them
write
to
the
old
folks
for
coin,
And
that
is
their
ace
in
the
hole,
And
others
have
friends
on
the
old
Tenderloin;
That's
their
old
ace
in
the
hole.
They′ll
tell
you
of
trips
that
they′re
going
to
take
From
Florida
to
the
North
Pole.
The
fact
is,
their
name
would
be
mud,
Like
a
chump
playing
stud,
If
they
lost
that
old
ace
down
in
the
hole!
