Diamond Lil Songtext
von David Bromberg

Go ahead and drink your whiskey
Run around and stay high all the time
It′s your body and your soul
You save yours and I'll save mine

A man should never gamble
A man should never gamble
A man should never gamble
More than he can stand to lose
More than he can stand to lose
More than he can lose

Now, the straight life′s just not your life
You can make your own rules
Shoot the dice and wear a blindfold
I see you're not afraid to look the fool


A man should never gamble
A man should never gamble
A man should never gamble
More than he can stand to lose
More than he can stand to lose
More than he can lose

I've heard you talk of marriage
But you know you said you′d never stop running ′round
You don't mind getting high, boy
But good God, coming down

A man should never gamble
A man should never gamble
A man should never gamble
More than he can stand to lose
More than he can stand to lose
More than he can lose

So sing your song and sip your champagne
Dance your dance with Diamond Lil
You don′t have to pay the piper
Just have him put it on the bill


A man should never gamble
A man should never gamble
A man should never gamble
More than he can stand to lose
More than he can stand to lose
More than he can lose

Shoot the dice
