Lyrics The Hollies

The Hollies

Son Of A Rotten Gambler

And his love will be his vision

He'll take you where you stand

Will you stand your life by his

And help the boy become a man?

Will he be the son of his father, his father the teacher

Teachin' love and honesty and bein' his own man handler

Or the son of, the son of the run of the millrun rotten gambler?

Will the devil be gettin' to you

As you look back over what you've done

What you've done, was it for reason or for rhyme

Or was it just for fun?

Will he be the son of his father, his father the teacher

Teachin' love and honesty and bein' his own man handler

Or the son of, the son of the run of the millrun rotten gambler?

Back on the road now deacon will lose your hand

There ain't no kingdom for the gamblin' man

You know the road now and you've made your stand

When his eyes shine upon you, shine upon you

Will he be the son of his father, his father the teacher

Teachin' love and honesty and bein' his own man handler

Or the son of, the son of the run of the millrun rotten gambler?

Will he be the son of his father, his father the teacher

Teachin' love and honesty and bein' his own man handler

Or the son of, the son of the run of the millrun rotten gambler?
