6-3-8 (That's The Number To Play) Lyrics

I woke up early this morning
Hand in hand [Incomprehensible]
The woman I love was at the head of my bed stand
The landlord wanted his rent

I went out on the corner
To see what I could do
I guess I get to play the races
I'm passin' it on to you

6-3-8 is the number today
6-3-8 is the number you better play

I don't believe in Gypsy's
Readin' out the palm of my hand
Don't believe in lady luck
She just wouldn't understand

I believe in Joe
Down by the Candy store
You would too, good people
If you know just what I know

6-3-8 is the number today
6-3-8 is the number you better play
Yeah, you know

Rusty is pretty fast
I just wanna prove you could
I do hope, you heard what I said
'Cause there ain't no okay do

There ain't no way for you to catch himRufus Thomas - 6-3-8 (That's The Number To Play) - http://motolyrics.com/rufus-thomas/6-3-8-thats-the-number-to-play-lyrics.html
That is plain to see
But if you want to get your Rusty
You better listen to me

6-3-8 is the number to play
6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today

Come on, come on now
Come on, come on now
Come on now

6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today
6-3-8 is the number you better play

Come on, all y'all
Come on, don't walk me y'all
I said, come on y'all
I said, come on y'all

6-3-8 is the number you better play
6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today

I ain't lyin'
I ain't lyin'

6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today
6-3-8 is the number you better play

6-3-8 is the number you better play
6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today

6-3-8 is the number that's comin' today
6-3-8 is the number you better play
