when I met the banker he was drinking a brandy
watching the tv and sitting alone
I sat down beside him with one seat between us
I ordered a whiskey and we said hello
he asked what I did, I told him a writer
he said do you love it and I told him I did
he said I’m a banker and that’s word for gambler
I he didn’t, he looked and said
one you’re the world
a the clouds
the you’re selling grandmother’s pearls
and a mouth
’cause what down
and what out
we sat there silence, just the noise the barroom
the the chatter and the glass
I asked he’d it the and the pistol
he his brandy he put the back
and said friend and partner for running
he owned a deal that bust
I him a the floor his office
a picture his laying his chest
one you’re the world
a the clouds
the you’re selling grandmother’s pearls
and a mouth
what down
what out
he asked what I wrote, I said people
he said how a who blew the big hand
he took a I a whiskey
and said I’ll end writing the gambler’s friend
