Not to beat up Jim Croce (the guy was great) but
the South side of Chgo is not the baddest part of town.
That honor goes to the West side. I know plenty of badass
southside brothers who won't step foot on the West side.
Then again, it's Chicago.
They got all the stuff Joe likes on every side.

================================================
We remember Frankie Machine
And the arm that always held up
We remember in the morning light
When the cards are boxed and the long cues racked
Straight up and down like the all-night hours
With the hot rush hours past

For it's all in the wrist with a deck or a cue
And if he crapped out when we thought he was due
It must have been that the dice were rolled
For he had the touch and his arm was gold
Rack up his cue, leave the steerer his hat
The arm that held up has failed at last

Yet why does the light down the dealer's slot
Stir soft, as light in a troubled dream?
A dream they say, of a Golden Arm
That belonged to a dealer we called Machine
