Emerson, Lake & Palmer (elp) - The Gambler lyrics

Hey mister gimme back them dice You're holding all the green but you're gonna lose a slice Rock and roll bless my soul, my wallet's gettin' thinner Sevens up, thank you Lord, now you're looking at a winner Cos I'm a member of a gamblin' breed. And when the actions hot, it gets me all I need So if you find me in our town, won't you lay your money down? It's satisfaction guaranteed You get heaven, you'll get hell There ain't no way for you to tell with a gamblin' man Hey mama give me one more ace I'm looking at a knave and he's laughing in my face Raise the pot bet the lot we could all be dead tomorrow I got an edge on the ledge not another man will follow Cos I'm a member... I said I'm a gambler, there's no question of that But I never gamble on a woman, that's a matter of fact Just ain't no predictin', which way their love will roll One moment they're red hot - the next they're icy cold Oh Lord, have mercy, give what wheel a spin It's takin' candy from a baby in the mood I'm in Rock and roll bless my soul, my wallet's lookin' healthy Easy come, easy go, I never wanted to be wealthy Just a paid up member of a gamblin' breed And when the actions hot it gets me all I need So if you find me in your town won't you lay your money down? It's satisfaction guaranteed You get heaven, you'll get hell there ain't no way for you to tell With a gamblin' man Lay your money down
