Gamblin' Blues - Steve Earle & The Dukes, The Dukes, Steve Earle

Papa don’t shoot no dice papa don’t play no cards

Papa don’t shoot no dice he don’t play no cards he say the money’s tight

He say the times are hard

Caught me comin' in one night after the clock struck three

Caught me comin' in last night after the clock struck three you been gamblin'

You’ll be the death of me

Gambled in Mexico gambled in New Orleans

Gambled in Mexico down in New Orleans played in every game

In every town between

But a gambler ain’t got no friends whenever his luck is down

Gambler ain’t got no friends when his luck is down but when he’s ridin high

They all hang around
