Four Eleven Forty Four by Papa Charlie Jackson Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1926

[Verse 1]
I felt so bad the other night
Had nothing left but an appetite
I looked in my purse, I had but a little dough
So I decided to play four 'leven forty-four

[Chorus]
"Policy" is all I hear all day
What good it is when you don't know what to play
You think of many numbers you've heard before
So always keep playing four 'leven forty-four
The other night I thought I'd always be broke
Four 'leven forty four made me out of a joke
So always keep playing four eleven forty-four

[Verse 2]
I went to the wheel, they wouldn't let me in
I stood on the steps, cried out in the wind
"Mister man, mister man, please open the door
I want to play four 'leven forty-four"
[Chorus]
So "Policy" is all I hear all day
What good it is when you don't know what to play
You think of many numbers you've heard before
So always keep playing four 'leven forty-four
The other night I thought I'd always be broke
Four 'leven forty four made me out of a joke
So always keep playing four eleven forty-four

[Verse 3]
So while they pulled the numbers, I sat real quiet
I felt like things wasn't gonna work right
I got nervous, started to go
But his last three numbers were four 'leven forty-four

[Chorus]
So "Policy" is all I hear all day
What good it is when you don't know what to play
You think of many numbers you've heard before
Always keep playing four 'leven forty-four

[Chorus]
"Policy" is all I hear all day
What good it is when you don't know what to play
You think of many numbers you've heard before
Always keep playing four 'leven forty-four
The other night I thought I'd always be broke
Four 'leven forty four made me out of a joke
So always keep playing four eleven forty-four
[Chorus]
So "Policy" is all I hear all day
What good it is when you don't know what to play
You think of many numbers you've heard before
So always keep playing four 'leven forty-four
The other night I thought I'd always be broke
Four 'leven forty four made me out of a joke
So always keep playing four eleven forty-four
