I used to do a lot of hitch hiking when I was younger. Once, while passing through Oklahoma....
Lyrics
I was standing Outside of the Greyhound Station in Downtown OKC
When a Limo pulled up and a one armed Priest Introduced Himself to Me.
He Asked if I wanted a place to stay
Free cigarettes and Three meals a day
He was the Bingo King
of Oklahoma City
Well, I worked Father Dolans Bingo Tables for about a week or so
One day he told me that I didn’t fit in and I would have to go.
I didn’t take the time to ask him why
I just packed my things and said goodbye
to the Bingo King
of Oklahoma City
Just after Thanksgiving of 88 they found Father Dolan Dead
Somebody had entered his apartment and smashed in his head.
His Car was found near an overpass
with the tires missing and out of gas
He was the Bingo King
of Oklahoma City
