Steve Earle - Gamblin Blues lyrics

rate me

(Chorus)

Papa don't shoot no dice

Papa don't play no cards

Papa don't shoot no dice

Don't play no cards

He said our money's tight

He said the times are hard

(Verse)

He told me come in at nine

But then the clock struck three

He told me come in at nine then the clock struck 3

You've been gamblin', you'll be the death of me

(Verse 2)

I gamble in Mexico

Gamble in New Orleans

I gamble in Mexico

Down in New Orleans

Deal in every game

And every time between

But a gambler ain't got no friends

When his luck is down

Gambler ain't got no friends

When his luck is down

When he's ridin' high

They all hang around

(Chorus)
