I'm a big time gambler

That's why I'm always on the move

I'm a big time gambler

That's why I'm always on the move

Always tryin' my best to win

But somehow or other always lose



Started gamblin' Friday night

Just as soon as I got paid

But before the game was over

I lost every dime I made

I say I'm a big time gambler

I've got Las Vegas in my veins

And when it comes to races

Bettin' on horses is my thing

(that's why I've always got the blues)



Like most big time gamblers

You know they've always got the blues

Just like most big time gamblers

You know they've always got the blues

You know they never stop gamblin'

Until they lose their socks and shoes
