Gambling Polka Dot Blues Songtext
von Hank Snow

I thought i was a gambler
Broke ev′ry shark in town
Until i met a rounder
Who called all i put down
We laid the cards on the table
He drew an ace high hand
He bet his watch and i called it
And lost my money like a man
()
I've got them polka dot blues, oh, them polka dot blues
Lost my hat and my coat and my straight-laced shoes


Sold my watch and went back to lose
The mean old gambling polka dot blues
Now my gal had plenty, so i got twenty
Then went back and sat down
I got a four but thought it was more
As we dealt the cards around
I sat the deck on the table
Bet him all i could stand
I turned it over a measly four
He had another ace high hand
(Repeat)
