Gambler's Blues Songtext
von Leroy Carr

Now if you have ever been a gambler, I want you to listen and see if this ain′t true
Now if you have been a gambler, I want you to listen and see if this ain't true
When you lose your last dollar you don′t know what to do

Then when you lose all of your money, you put all your clothes in pawn
Then when you lose all of your money, you put all your clothes in pawn
You go back to where you was gambling, and the dice kept rolling on


And you holler too thin, but all the traders are gone
And you holler too thin, but all the traders are gone
And you turn to the game keeper and ask him what is going on wrong

Soon the game starts on, and you go back to the table again
Soon the game starts on, and you go back to the table again
You pick up the dice, and you try your best to win

Luck is against you, you try but it's all in vain
Luck is against you, you try but it's all in vain
You start home to your woman, and find you are broke again
