Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys - The King of Western Swing, CD C

Gambling Polka Dot Blues

I thought I was a gambler
Broke every shark in town
Until I met a rounder
Who called all I put down

So I set the deck on the table
He drew an ace-high hand
He bet his watch and I called it
I lost my money like the man

I got the polka dot blues, polka dot blues
I lost my hat and my coat and my straight lace shoes
I sold my watch then went back to lose
The mean old gambling polka dot blues
I got the gambling polka dot blues

My gal has plenty and I got 20
Then went back and sat down
I got a four, but I thought it was more
As we dealt the cards around

So, I set the deck on the table
Bet him all I could stand
He turned over a measly four
He had another ace-high hand

I got the polka dot blues, polka dot blues
I lost my hat and my coat and my straight lace shoes
I sold my watch and went back to lose
Mean old gambling polka dot blues
I got the gambling polka dot blues
