My father was a gambler |
|
Gambled every day |
|
My daddy was a gambler some kind |
|
Gambled his life away |
|
|
|
My father was a gambler |
|
Always lost to me |
|
My father was a gambler |
|
Used to being beaten let me tell you so |
|
|
|
Caught out |
|
With a shout |
|
And playing poker |
|
With dogs and horses, 52 cards |
|
He was a joker |
|
|
|
Call the odds, call the shots, |
|
My father was a gambler |
|
I swear it's the truth |
|
Call you out and make mince meat of you |
|
Call you out and make you pay, oh |
|
|
|
You can't pay, you can't play, that's what he told me, that's what he said |
|
You can't play, you can't pay, you can't play, you can't pay |
|
We don't boy money cross my table |
|
|
|
First rule of the joker |
|
First rule of the joker |
|
|
|
Daddy was a gambler |
|
Daddy was a bad bad boy |
|
|
|
My daddy was a gambler man |
|
My daddy gambled and sowed the seed |
|
My daddy how are you |
|
How are you |
|
|
|
Filled some peoples hearts with joy |
|
|
|
Never cheated always beaten |
|
Never beaten never cheated always smiled |
|
|
|
Fly on the wall the beetle crawled by |
|
Daddy was a gambler |
|
|
|
A mean chip off the old block |
|
Look him in the eye and book em |
|
Look him in the eye and turn away |
|
Look him in the eye and book em |
