(INTRO)
well, he's the lord of the shuffleboard, king of the dark tavern blues
well, he's the lord of the shuffleboard, king of the dark tavern blues
he's got his duck-tail pork chop, patent leather Porter Waggoner shoes
now he's living with the fifty's stuck in his mind
he can't seem to deal with the changes and the time
he's an ace mechanic a workin' with his hands
he barely makes a livin' and he never makes complaints
he's the lord of the shuffleboard, king of the dark tavern blues
he's got his duck-tail pork chop, patent leather Porter Waggoner shoes
he's got a '57 Chevy and a Coupe DeVille
he ain't got no family but he's finally to the wheel?
he puts away his wretched slick black hair
he heads to the tavern and he never takes a care
he's the lord of the shuffleboard, king of the dark tavern blues
he's got his duck-tail pork chop, patented leather Porter Waggoner shoes
(HARP & GUITAR SOLOS)
when they powdered down a table, he read his uncles' clock?
he's at the cat-in-fiddle , he's tryin' to make a buck
I've been comin' to this tavern for 27 years
I've never seen a loser on less than 27 beers
he's the lord of the shuffleboard, king of the dark tavern blues
well, he's the lord of the shuffleboard, king of the dark tavern blues
he's got his duck-tail pork chop, patented leather Porter
a duck-tail pork chop, patented leather Porter
a duck-tail pork chop, patented leather Porter Waggoner shoes
