Golden Earring - Gambler's Blues lyrics

rate me

From the Albums:

* Paradise in distress

* Last blast of the century

The table's smokin'

I got money to burn

Get ready to spin that wheel again

I came to gamble – not to dance tonight

So cut the cards and deal ‘em nice

All or nothing' roll the dice

Son of a gun – there's somethin' goin' on

Yeah, today's my lucky day

Lady luck please come my way

I got money to burn – money to burn tonight

And as the dealer – calls the play

I feel the shiver – comin' over me

Feel it in my fingertips allright

Cards slidin' faster and slicker

Than a hooker's lips in the neon light

I do what I do – I'm a gamblin' man

I gamble on life and I gamble on love

Gamble on luck from above anyway I can

Seven card stud – with a full-house hand

I'm a jackpot maniac, my friend

Tequila shots – one more chance

For the blackjack gamblin' man

The devil bets – he bets on hell

And seven come eleven right

Holdin' eights and aces thight

The gambler bets on heaven tonight

The devil bets – he bets on hell

Goin' in for the kill

Holding eights and aces tight

It's the gambler's bet tonight

On heaven tonight
