You know I once was a gambler boy but I bet my money wrong

You know I once was a gambler but I bet my money wrong

Now I ain't got no money and all I got is gone



When you lose that doggone money, sittin' around with your head hung down

When you lose that doggone money, sittin' around with your head hung down

You wake up in the morning with your face all full of frown



You know I'm through with gamblin', some jackstropper can have my room

Boys I'm through with gamblin', some other hustler can have my room

Well my drinking may kill me but gamblin' won't be my doom



Well I gambled so long till I thought that I would never change

Boys I gambled so long till I thought I would never change

Well I ain't goin' gamble no more, I swear I'm gonna save my change
