when you play against the dealer
Never leave your woman alone
when your friends are out to steal her
Here's our gamble and lost
And we'll keep rolling out

and more since I've seen her,
and gone like summer wind, DJs.
are all spilled out on the floor
All the big stands of timber
are just waiting for the fall
And the hookers waiting watchful
as they sit there by the door
So I'll work on the towboats
in my slippery city shoes,
Through the grey, fog -bound streets
where the cedars stand waiting,
I'll be far off and gone like
down the long main street
are all spilled out on the floor
All the big stands of timber
just are waiting for the fall
And the hookers waiting watchful,
they sit there by the door
when you play against the dealer
Never leave your woman alone
when your friends are out to steal her
Years of gamblin' and lost
Years of gamblin' and lost
