Gambling Man Blues

Spoken:

Well, yeah... I'll tell you about bein' a gambling man. Back at that time, I'd take my guitar, make me a few nickels, and then I'd get to get down to the game and gamble, and that's where I could break some up, and then I'm gone.

Honeyboy singin':

I'm a gambling man'

Gamblin'... all night long

Well, I'm a gambling man'

Gamble... all night long

Spoken:

Yeah

I'm gonna gamble this time, baby

Bring my good gal home

Gamblin' down in new orleans

Gamblin' down on rampart street

Well, I gamble in new orleans

Gamble down on rampart street

I fell in love with a little ol' girl

And her name was peggy dee

Spoken:

Yeah... play it, Honeyboy

Yeah... yeah

Sardinas singin':

I'm a gamblin' man

Gamble from door to door

I'm a gamblin' man

Gamble from door to door

Yes, I'm gonna keep on gamblin'

My little girl don't love me no more

Spoken:

Yeah

I'm a gambling man'

Gamble from town to town

I'm a gambling man'

Gamble from town to town

Yes, ain't gonna stop my ways, baby

'Til I bring my bull calf home

Alright!

Alright, here we go, now...

Spoken:

Yeah!

Alright, man...

Is that alright, Honeyboy?

You sound alright to me!

Honeyboy singin':

Gamblin' down in loosianna

Gamblin' down on old man needle's sugar farm

Gamblin' down in loosianna

Gamblin' down on old man needle's sugar farm

You know I can't never get lucky

To win my train fare home

Spoken:

Yeah, yeah! Charlie Patton used to do that, too... you see what I mean? You're right in there... you know it, you're right in there! Yeah, that sounds good...
