Gamblin' Man

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

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

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

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

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
