Gambling

See the tide raking up [aims] every strand
Another blank slot on the sand
You're gonna leave these waters a richer man

Roll your dice on the sea
When the rain's falling down
And blind every eye looking 'round
Cause they'll want to see what you'll hold
In your other hand

But you'll keep it as dark as the moon
When it turns from the ground
Cause you're just a-gambling

Well, did you bribe yourself into taking this bet?
Did you step in over your head?
You're gonna wish this time that you never had

Keep your lies as deep as the water is [found]
And sooner or later they'll drown
And you will be free until they float again

But you'll keep them as dark as the moon
When it turns from the ground
And you'll take them as far as the [strains]
That the tide carried out
Cause you're just a-gambling
La-da-di-ah
You're just a-gambling
Da-di-ah-ooh

Go repay your master with all that you win
I hope he looks over your sins
Cause you're gonna make yourself a second plan

Throw your line as far as the east is from west
And reel it until you find rest
You're gonna cast your catch on the better man

And you'll keep them as dark as the moon
When it turns from the ground
And you'll take them as far as the [strains]
That the tide carried out
And they'll keep you afloat
Or they'll let you'll decide where to drown
Cause he's just a-gambling

La-da-di-ah
La-da-di-ah (Oh)
La-da-di-ah-ah
La-da-di-ah (Oh)
La-da-da-ah
