Thread Name: Lyr Req: Number Eight
Subject: Origins: Number Eight
The lyrics go something like this:

Here before me
My plain soul
Here in my hands
The money that keeps it playing (possibly "The money that makes it play)

Well, I play these numbers
When i feel blue
Oh yes, at times when I, I am blue.


and it goes on to link "Number eight" with ages 29, 23, 17...

Probably recorded in the 1950s, but by whom, or at least, who wrote it?

Possible titles: Number Eight or Number Eight (On the Jukebox)

Diolch yn fawr!
