Subject: NEED LYR: Ace Down in the Hole-NOT G.Straits
Hi, Phoaks,

Dad was a little down for awhile in May and is finally back up to snuff, at 82, "entertaining the old phoaks in the nursing home" as he puts it.

That means he's learning more songs he forgot and his memory holds the human equivalent of the DT, already!

He wanted me to ask you all if any of you know all the words to the old timey version of Ace Down In The Hole. He said it is NOT the George Strait version.

Some of the words he remembers are "this town is full of guys who think they're pretty wise" and something about a "having a gal down at the Tenderloin".

Hope one of you can help out. Dad visits the Mudcat, vicariously, through me. I catch him up on all the doings and if I'm feeling flush with 'pewter paper, I send him hard copies of the more interesting and entertaining threads. He always appreciates the help and I know would be on here if he could.

Thanks a bunch,
