I am the gamblin‘ man
I go downtown to lay my money down
Life is a game that I don’t play
I’m wasting time
That’s what most people say

All in – just got paid today
But I don’t save it ‘till the break of the next day
All in – I ain’t got no dime
I’ve lost it all but I had a great time

Some you win
Some you lose
Women, cards and dice
I drown ‘em all in booze
And when I come home in the morning
I couldn’t save one buck
But when I’m out of luck
I just don’t give a damn
