Gamblin' Man Lyrics & Chords By Mike Ness

Well I'm a roving gambler,
I've seen most every town.
Whenever I meet with a deck of cards,
I lay my money down.
I lay my money down,
Yeah, I lay my money down.

I've gambled out in Texas,
And down in New Orleans.
I've lost the pot with four-of-a-kind,
I've won with a couple of queens.
Lord, I've bluffed with a couple of queens,
I've won with a couple of queens.

Well, I met a friend in Frisco,
And Lady Luck was her name.
Well, I couldn't lose with a pair of twos,
'Till a woman got in the game.
Lord, a redhead got in the game,
Yeah a woman got in the game.

Well she won my old black pan-head
She won my switch-blade knife.
And when I lost everything I had,
She told me to bet my life.
She told me to bet my life,
She told me to bet my life.

If you don't want to lose your freedom,
If you care about your life,
Don't get in a game with a redheaded thing,
You'll win yourself a wife.
Lord, you'll win yourself a wife
Oh, you got yourself a wife.
