[G]Son[G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
Well now [G]me and Homer Jones
and [C]Big John Talley
Had a [G]big crap game goin' [E]back in the alley
[A]And I kept rollin' them sev[D]ens
and [G]winnin' all them [D]pots
[G]My luck was so good I could [C]do no wrong
I just [G]kept on rollin'
and con[E]trollin' them bones
[A]Finally they just threw up their [D]hands and said
When you're [G]hot you're hot I [D]said yeah

[Chorus 1]
[G]When you're hot you're hot[E]
[A]and when you're not[D] you're not[G]

[Verse 2]
[G]time I rolled 'em [C]dice I'd win
And I [G]would just get ready to [E]roll 'em again
When I [A]heard something behind me
[D]I turned around
and there was [G]a big ole c[D]op
He said [G]hello boy and he [C]gave us a grin
[G]Said looks like

[D]Well when he

[Verse 3]
[G]took us into court
I [C]couldn't believe my eyes
The [G]judge was a fishin' buddy
that [E]I recognized
I said hey [A]judge
old buddy old [D]pal I'll pay you
That hundred I [G]owe you
if you get me out of [D]this spot
So he [G]gave my friend a little [C]fine to pay
he [G]turned around and grinned at [E]me and said
[A]Ninety days [D]Jerry,
when you're [G]hot you're [D]hot

[Chorus 3]
I said thanks a lot
[G]When you're hot you're hot[E]
[A]and when you're not[D] you're not[G]
You let my friend go free
and throw [E]the book at me
He said [A]well when you're [D]hot you're [G]hot
[D]I said well I tell you o[G]ne thing judge
old [E]buddy old pal
[A]If you wasn't wearin' [D]that black [G]robe
I'd pick you up by [E]courthouse
And I'd [A]try a little bit [D]of your honor [G]on
[D]"You understand that,

[Interlude 1]
[G]you [E]hillbilly?
Who gonna collect my [A]welfare?
(When you're [D]hot you're [G]hot)
Pay for my Cadillac?
[G]Wha[E]dda you mean 'Contempt of Court'[A]?
(When you're [D]hot you're [G]hot)
