作词 : Gray, Thompson | |
Your daddy was a gambling man my mother said to me | |
He left me when you were a child but he was all this world to me | |
I know your daddy loved me too from tattoo on his arms | |
Was a heart of love that bored my name and was his good luck charm | |
I didn't heed my mother's words to leave the cards alone | |
I took to gambling just like dad and left my mother's home | |
One night the gang was gathered round we delt the hand of draw | |
An old man sat across from me and this is what I saw | |
From out his sleeve he pulled the card and I pulled out my gun | |
I shot him dead not knowing then what evil I had done | |
He fell across the table his hands reached out in vain | |
His sleeve slipped back and upon his arm I could see so plain | |
I gazed down at his lifeless arm and I hung my head in shame | |
For upon his arm was tattooed heart and I saw my mother's name |
