The Gambler

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm a poor man, only got a little money,

'cause most of what I earn goes strait to my honey.

Now I'm fed up with that, and need to get away,

so I go to the gambling hall,

to try my luck today

(He wants to double his fortune)

I know it is my day

(He wants to double his fortune)

Then I can get away

(He wants to double his fortune)

Then I'll be so rich,

but first I need to change some more

'cause this is a bitch.

I'm richer than I was, when I walked in that door,

I know it's best to stop, but I could use some more.

It's going a little worse, but I am just beginning,

I'm loosing a little now, but overall I'm winning.

(He wants to double his fortune)

I know it is my day

(He wants to double his fortune)

Then I can get away

(He wants to double his fortune)

Then I'll be so rich,

but first I need to change some more

'cause this is a bitch.

Now I lost all I had won, don't think it's funny,

what will I tell my love, what will I tell my honey?

I can tell her I will stop, an that it makes me sad,

but she won't believe me, jee do I feel bad.

(He wants to double his fortune)

I thought it was my day.

(He wants to double his fortune)

I guess I'll have to stay.

(He wants to double his fortune)

It could have been so nice,

now my love has run away,

I guess this is my price.

(He wants to double his fortune)

My love has run away. (He wants to double his fortune)

What have I got to say? (He wants to double his fortune)

I'll have to wait for pay-day. (He wants to double his fortune)

Is only 30 days away.
