THAT WAS THAT BLUES song lyrics by Joel Sattler

I got a job in Vegas

Dealing the cards for wages

It was for kicks and folding money

But Vegas was too sunny

It burned my eyes and fingers

I met a chorus singer

She was so wild or something

She kept me all night thumping

A week with her was crazy crazy crazy

The boss threw me out, he thought I was lazy

He told me get a new job

I’s out the door and

That was that

Out on the street a cop

Said hold up turn around and stop

Put up your god dam hands

Said miss is this the man

She said sir yes he was

Don’t shoot him sir because

Although he stole my heart

He’s not so really really very smart

Then she began to wail

They threw us both in jail

Nobody made my bail

They turned the key and

That was that 

They let me go next morning

With just a fine and just warning

They said keep offbehave or else

She said you watch yourself

She took a cab was there

And left for who knows where

I went into casino

Just like my home in Reno

I could no longer stand it

My final dime in the bandit

The bells they started ringing

The manager was singing

You won a million dollars

They all stood up and hollered

The girls were hot and smoking

But in the morning I was broke

Without a dime and

That was that

I wandered lost and lonely

She was my one and only

I walked the strip uptown

And back and all around

My buddy said he’d fix it

He handed me a ticket

I found her at the station

I said who are you waiting

She said nobody honey

I said now that is funny

I am nobody that is plain

We took the train and

That was that
