Thread Name: Lyr Req: Pinball Machine (Lonnie Irving)
Subject: All on account of a Pinball Machine
Anyone know the rest of the words to an old, sad c/w/folk song about a hog hauler?
I'm an old hog hauler and I drive a big truck, I played the pinball machine till it brought me bad luck. All I ever got on the pinball machine, I got the four cat-e-corners, but I missed the sixteen.
My wife she called me up on the telephone, Said "John, I really love you, when will you come home?" "I got a load of hogs and they've got to go; I'll see you when I get back from Chicago."
blah, blah.
My best friend called me up on the telephone, He said (blah blah). "John, I hate to tell you 'bout your babies and your wife, Pneumonia caught the babies and your wife took her life."
