Gambler

My father was a gambler

Gambled every day

My daddy was a gambler some kind

Gambled his life away

My father was a gambler

Always lost to me

My father was a gambler

Used to being beaten let me tell you so

Caught out

With a shout

And playing poker

With dogs and horses, 52 cards

He was a joker

Call the odds, call the shots,

My father was a gambler

I swear it's the truth

Call you out and make mince meat of you

Call you out and make you pay, oh

You can't pay, you can't play, that's what he told me, that's what he said

You can't play, you can't pay, you can't play, you can't pay

We don't boy money cross my table

First rule of the joker

First rule of the joker

Daddy was a gambler

Daddy was a bad bad boy

My daddy was a gambler man

My daddy gambled and sowed the seed

My daddy how are you

How are you

Filled some peoples hearts with joy

Never cheated always beaten

Never beaten never cheated always smiled

Fly on the wall the beetle crawled by

Daddy was a gambler

A mean chip off the old block

Look him in the eye and book em

Look him in the eye and turn away

Look him in the eye and book em
