The Numbers - John Lee Hooker

Anything in the world happen, I been playing so long

5−67, and ain’t a thing happen!

Mmm, oh Lord

Lord, Lord, have mercy!

I’ve been playing triple two so long

Anything in the world happen

What in the world I’m gon' do?

Mmah, Lord, ooh

Now God knows these, now God knows these numbers

God knows these numbers killing me

Yes, yes, these numbers!

Lord, Lord, 9−64, I been playing it so long, ain’t a thing happen!

I gotta put’m down

Lord these numbers, these dog-gone numbers are killing me now

Well, well, I play 5−62, God knows, I come home in the evening

God knows, a dog-gone thing
