by
Lil' Son Jackson (Melvin Jackson)
recording of probably Summer 1960, Dallas, Texas
from
Blues Come To Texas (Arhoolie 409)
You know I once was a gambler boy but I bet my money wrong
You know I once was a gambler but I bet my money wrong
Now I ain't got no money and all I got is gone
When you lose that doggone money, sittin' around with your head hung down
When you lose that doggone money, sittin' around with your head hung down
You wake up in the morning with your face all full of frown
You know I'm through with gamblin', some jackstropper can have my room
Boys I'm through with gamblin', some other hustler can have my room
Well my drinking may kill me but gamblin' won't be my doom
Well I gambled so long till I thought that I would never change
Boys I gambled so long till I thought I would never change
Well I ain't goin' gamble no more, I swear I'm gonna save my change
Here is the table of contents.
