Gamblin’ Man

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
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
