I once was a gambler
I bet my money wrong
I once was a gamble
I bet my money wrong
Look for my baby
Mess up my happy home
Look for my money
Look for my watch and chain
Look for my money
You know she pawned my watch and chain
Told the DA
Even your name
I’m through with gambling
Some other fool can have my room
I’m through with gambling
Some other fool can have my room
Might die of whisky
But gambling sure won’t be my doom
