[C] [Bb] [Gm]
[Eb]
Best Frank Folker is an awful thing Most everybody [D] loves to play that game
[Ab] Best Frank Folker's [Eb] a run nation to a many men
[C]
[Cm] [Gm] And if you keep on playing it you'll lose the last dollar from [Eb] your hand
Most every man has a game in his home Rather play somebody else's than to play his own
[Ab] Best Frank Folker's a run nation to a many men
[Cm] And [Gm] if you keep on playing it [Cm] you'll lose the last dollar [Eb] from your hand
As a brown skinned woman lives out on a hill
She used to play poker and she [F] plays it [Bb] still
[Abm] Best Frank Folker's a run nation to [Eb] a many men
[Gm] And if you keep on [G] playing it you'll lose the last dollar [Eb] from your hand
Oh look at that old bitch shaking
[Ab] [Eb]
[Cm] That's what you call best Frank
When [Eb]
she gets it playing it she plays it in a rush
You will have three aces but she will have a royal flush
[Ab] Now Best Frank [Abm] Folker's a run nation [Eb] to a many men
[Cm]
And if [Gm] you keep on playing it you'll lose [C] the last dollar from [Eb] your hand
There is a man his name is Bill
He used to play poker and he [D] plays it [Ab] still
Now Best Frank Folker's a run nation to [Eb] a many men
[Cm] [Gm] And if you keep on [B] playing it [Cm] you'll lose the last dollar [Eb] from your hand
[Cm] [Db] [D]
