I gotta tell ya about the blues
|
I gotta tell ya just how I lose
|
Ain't got no money
|
But I'll straighten up my head at the Cosmo now
|
|
Gambler, gambler
|
Chicken in the first degree
|
Gambler, gambler
|
Chicken in the first degree
|
I never been a gambler
|
So please don't messin' me
|
|
Hey, jury, jury
|
I tell you story, true
|
Ah, listen, jury, jury
|
Tell you story true
|
The jury found me guilty
|
Don't know what to do
|
|
I was playing in Boston
|
Say, up in old St. Lou
|
Surrounded by the FBI
|
For something I didn't do
|
Now my baby left me
|
Left me all alone
|
Judge said, "Son, you ain't going home"
|
|
Gambler, gambler
|
Chicken in the first degree
|
Well, I've never been a gambler
|
So please don't messin' me
|
Oh, no, no, no
|
|
Oh, gambler, gambler
|
Chicken in the first degree
|
Gambler, gambler
|
Chicken in the first degree
|
Well, I've never been a gambler
|
So please don't messin' me
