The Danny Joe Brown Band - Gambler's Dream lyrics

On the south side of Chicago on A freezin' winter night In a crowded little bar room The men were rollin' dice I's winnin' by the hundreds Just rakin' it in When I looked up from the table Big John Lee was walkin' in Well, he grabbed a chair beside me Said "son count me in" He looked over at my winnin's He wore an evil grin I'd heard of hs reputation A fairly dangerous man Yea I heard ol' big John Lee Would pull is gun whenever he can Chorus: I rolled against John Lee He's a helluva man He's hailed from Dallas, Texas And he's known throughout the land Now the first hour went slowly Yea tension buildin' up John Lee was drinkin' Jack Black From a dixie cup He was rollin' double too Had me in a tight Here comes John's dice again Good God! it's snake eyes Chorus: I rolled against John Lee He's a helluva man He's hailed from Dallas, Texas And he's known throughout the land Oh, the night was growin' colder The crowd was wearin' thin John Lee put up his savings Thinkin' he was gonna win His hands were startin' to tremble Money gettin' low Ain't gonna let this Georgia farm boy Walk outa here with his dough Chorus: I rolled against John Lee He's a helluva man He's hailed from Dallas, Texas And he's known throughout the land
