Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh, Sevens
Well now me and Homer Jones
and Big John Talley
Had a big crap game
going way [E]back in Annie
And I [A]just kept rolling them sevens
[D]And winning all the[G]m beautiful pots
[D]But Homer he looked at me [G]and he said
Now that's [C]something mighty funny
[G]Cause how come you keep rolling sevens
[E]And winning all the money
[A]And I said well son[D]
When you're [G]hot, too hot
[D]I sai[G]d, yeah, when you're hot,
you're [E]hot
[A]And when you're [G]not, you're not
Put all that money back in
and let's [E]roll them again
[A]Cause when you're [D]hot, [G]you're hot
La -la -la -la [E]-la -la
[A]La -la [D]-la -la [G]-la
La -la -la -la [E]-la -la
[A]When [D]you're hot, [G]you're hot
Well, now, every time I rolled them dice,
[C]I'd win
And I was [G]just getting ready
to roll [E]them again
When I heard [A]something behind me
And I turned [D]around
and there stood [G]a big old car
[D]An d he said, evenin', boys,
[G]and he gave us the grin an [C]d said,
Looks like [G]I'm gonna have
to haul y 'all [E]in
and keep all that money [A]for evidence.
And I [D]said, well, son,
[G]when you're hot, [D]you're hot.
He [G]said, when you're hot, you're [E]hot.
[A]An d when you're [D]not, [G]you're not.
You can explain it all down [E]at City Hall.
[A]And when you're [D]hot, [G]you're hot.
La -la -la -la [E]-la -la.
[A]La -la [D]-la [G]-la -la.
La -la -la -la [E]-la -la.
[A]When [D]you're hot, [G]you're hot.
[D]Well, when he took [G]us into court,
I couldn't be[C]lieve my eyes
The [G]judge was a fishing buddy
that [E]I recognized
And I [A]said, hey, judge, [D]old buddy, old pal,
I'll pay you that hundred [G]I owe you
If you get [D]me out of this spot
[G]So he gave my friends a little fine to pay
And he turned around
and he grinned [E]at me
And he said, [A]90 days, sweet [D]thing
Cause when you're [G]hot, you're hot
And [D]I said, thanks a lot
[G]When you're hot, you're hot[E]
[A]And when [D]you're [G]you're not
You let my friends go free
and you [E]throw the buck at me
And [A]he said, well,
when [D]you're [G]hot, you're hot
And I said, well,
I'll tell you one thing, judge.
[E]If you wasn't wearing tha[A]t black rob[D]e,
[G]I'd take your honor out
back at the courthouse
and try a little bit [E]of your honor.
[A]Oh, [D]yeah, I [G]mean,
who's going to collect my welfare check?
Who's going [E]to drive my [A]Cadillac?
I [D]mean, who's going to [G]run my train
when I'm in [E]a Calaboose?
Contempt?
[A]What do you[D] mean, contempt?
