Steve Gosney - Momma Had A Full House Lyrics

Well I stood behind my daddy and watched him on his knees
Shooting dice in the back room of the tavern down the street
He taught me how a straight flush could beat three of a kind
But momma had a full house that never won a dime

Then in church on Sunday morning us kids would all be there
Stand beside our momma down on her knees in prayer
She prayed for dad while dad was somewhere praying for an ace
Momma had a full house daddy couldn't raise

And while she waited on a roll call to call her soul to heaven
He was calling for a roll of seven come eleven
Till one night he kissed us all goodbye and went away
Momma had a full house daddy couldn't raise

In our own way we loved him even when the times were bad
But no on one grew up following the footsteps of our dad
But you can bet on one thing while we were growing up
Momma had a full house with everlasting love

And while she waited on a roll call to call her soul to heaven
He was calling for a roll of seven come eleven
Till one night he kissed us all goodbye and went away
Momma had a full house daddy couldn't raise

And while she waited on a roll call to call her soul to heaven
He was calling for a roll of seven come eleven
Till one night he kissed us all goodbye and went away
Momma had a full house daddy couldn't raise
Momma had a full house daddy couldn't raise"
