Steve Earle - Gamblin' Blues lyrics
[Steve Earle - Gamblin' Blues lyrics]
Papa don’t shoot no dice
Papa don’t play no cards
Papa don’t shoot no dice
He don’t play no cards
He said the money’s tight
He say the times are hard
Caught me comin’ in one
Night after the clock struck three
Oh he caught me comin’ in last night
After the clock struck three
You been gamblin’, you’ll be the death of me
I gambled in Mexico, gambled in New Orleans
I gambled in Mexico, down in New Orleans
Played in every game in every town between
But a gambler ain’t got no friends
Whenever his luck is down
A gambler ain't got no friends
When his luck is down
But when he’s riding high
They all hang around
Papa don’t shoot no dice
Papa don’t play no cards
Papa don’t shoot no dice, don’t play no cards
He said the money’s tight
He said the times are hard
He said the money’s tight
He said the times are hard
Papa don’t play no cards
Papa don’t shoot no dice
He don’t play no cards
He said the money’s tight
He say the times are hard
Caught me comin’ in one
Night after the clock struck three
Oh he caught me comin’ in last night
After the clock struck three
You been gamblin’, you’ll be the death of me
I gambled in Mexico, gambled in New Orleans
I gambled in Mexico, down in New Orleans
Played in every game in every town between
But a gambler ain’t got no friends
Whenever his luck is down
A gambler ain't got no friends
When his luck is down
But when he’s riding high
They all hang around
Papa don’t shoot no dice
Papa don’t play no cards
Papa don’t shoot no dice, don’t play no cards
He said the money’s tight
He said the times are hard
He said the money’s tight
He said the times are hard
