Meaning
As my mother said, "Why, they've made a song about that old bootlegger, Dumas Walker!" Yes, he was. And he loved to shoot "marvels" as he called them. That was why "you oughta see him GRINNIN' when you walk through the door, the marble king ready for more!" More people to play marbles with. More business. They played Rolley Hole, which was a game carried to Appalachia from England and Ireland. But he also sold liquor in a dry county. And the home made stuff. And they bet on the marble games, and laid money down on the floor. A "slawburger" is a hamburger with cabbage slaw on it instead of lettuce. A bottle of "Ski" (not skeet) is a kind of soda pop, off brand, I think it was made by the ones who bottled are. C. Cola, it's like a Mountain Dew or something, one of those lemon/lime eye burners. The country music video of this song showed them shooting marbles on a pool table, which as far as I know doesn't happen. But they have a marble tournament at Standing Stone every year.
