Eddy Clearwater - Big Time Gambler lyrics

I'm a big time gambler That's why I'm always on the move I'm a big time gambler That's why I'm always on the move Always tryin' my best to win But somehow or other always lose Started gamblin' Friday night Just as soon as I got paid But before the game was over I lost every dime I made I say I'm a big time gambler I've got Las Vegas in my veins And when it comes to races Bettin' on horses is my thing (That's why I've always got the blues) Like most big time gamblers You know they've always got the blues Just like most big time gamblers You know they've always got the blues You know they never stop gamblin' Until they lose their socks and shoes
