Gambling Blues - John Hammond

I once was a gambler

I bet my money wrong

I once was a gamble

I bet my money wrong

Look for my baby

Mess up my happy home

Look for my money

Look for my watch and chain

Look for my money

You know she pawned my watch and chain

Told the DA

Even your name

I’m through with gambling

Some other fool can have my room

I’m through with gambling

Some other fool can have my room

Might die of whisky

But gambling sure won’t be my doom
