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
|
