The Gambler

Hey mister gimme back them dice

you're holding all the green but you're gonna lose a slice

Rock and roll bless my soul, my wallet's gettin' thinner

sevens up, thank you Lord, now you're looking at a winner.

Cos I'm a member of a gamblin' breed.

And when the actions hot, it gets me all I need.

So if you find me in our town, won't you lay your money down ?

It's satisfaction guaranteed.

You get heaven, you'll get hell

there ain't no way for you to tell with a gamblin' man.

Hey mama give me one more ace

I'm looking at a knave and he's laughing in my face.

Raise the pot bet the lot we could all be dead tomorrow.

I got an edge on the ledge not another man will follow.

Cos I'm a member ...

I said I'm a gambler, there's no question of that,

but I never gamble on a woman, that's a matter of fact.

Just ain't no predictin' , which way their love will roll,

one moment they're red hot - the next they're icy cold.

Oh Lord, have mercy, give what wheel a spin

It's takin' candy from a baby in the mood I'm in.

Rock and roll bless my soul, my wallet's lookin' healthy

easy come, easy go, I never wanted to be wealthy.

Just a paid up member of a gamblin' breed,

and when the actions hot it gets me all I need.

So if you find me in your town won't you lay your money down ?

It's satisfaction guaranteed.

You get heaven, you'll get hell there ain't no way for you to tell

with a gamblin' man.

Lay your money down.
