You Don't Say

Gather 'round let me tell you a story
About a place I used to go
Down on Third and Broadway
At Sammy’s Pool Hall
That’s where Billy Lee called home
You don’t say
Hello darlin' I’ll buy you the moon
There ain’t nothing I can’t give
Stick with me, cars and diamonds
That’s how I live
You don’t say
And every day he’d spin them
The stories and the tales
Every night he’d find someone new
Let his silver tongue prevail
So the story goes
One night
He saddled up to Candy Sue
He seemed to forgot she was married
Not something he was ought to do
You don’t say
And Bobby came out of the back
10-inch blade in his hand
Billy pulled out his pistol
They stood there
Eyes bulging
Man to man
