Grandma Plays The Numbers (12-19-48) - Wynonie Harris

Say Wynonie, I was by your house last night and guess what happened?

What happened, mon?

Your grandma was playing the numbers

Well you just finding that out?

(Well what do you know, hmm?)

(We found out) Yes we did

(We found out) Now we know

(We found out) We found out that Grandma plays the numbers

(We found out) Yes we did

(We found out) She couldn’t keep it hid

(We found out) Now we know that Grandma plays the numbers

Thinks about 'em everyday

Dreams about 'em every night

Gets up early in the morning

See all 'em numbers come down just right

(We found out) Yes we know

(We found out) Bless her soul

(We found out) Now we know that Grandma plays the numbers

(We found out) Yes we know

(We found out) Bless her soul

(We found out) Now we know that Grandma plays the numbers

(We found out) Yes, oh yes

(We found out) We found out

(We found out) Now we know that Grandma plays the numbers

She’s at the fruit stand everyday

Buys bananas by the bunch

She looks at all the price tags

That’s where she gets her hunch

(We found out) Yes we know

(We found out) Bless her soul

(We found out) Now we know that Grandma plays the numbers

Hey, Grandma, did you get your numbers in yet?

Well, I 'spect I did, son

Well, what did you play?

Three, six, nine

(Well, what do you know?)
