Lyrics:

Here before me...
My plain soul
Here in my hands
I hold the money that makes it play

Well, I play these numbers when I feel blue
Oh, yes at times, well I, I am blue

1. Number Eight, twenty-nine
She's gone, no, she's mine
Number Eight, twenty-three
To my heart she'll hold the key

Number Eight, seventeen,
Darlin', you, you are my queen
Oh, yes, at times when I, I feel blue

1. (repeat)

What hurts most of all,
Number Eight, twenty-two,
Where it says, darlin', I love you

(falsetto) I love...
