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.
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.
