| When I look back at my time at the track
|
| And I played and I played and I played and I was
|
| Shooting the craps at the back of Fat Jack’s
|
| Come on fade me Jake
|
| I’m a Las Vegas dreamer they took to the cleaners
|
| A bath what a bath what a bath I’d take
|
| A fish on a hook I was rattled and shook 'cause I lost my stake
|
| I took that serious
|
| All of my life was a laugh and a joke
|
| And a drink and a smoke
|
| And then I passed out on the floor
|
| Again and again and again and again and again
|
| I’m a gambling fool with a roll and a cue
|
| Wanna play wanna play wanna play with me
|
| Put my ass on the line rubbed my nose in the grime
|
| And they picked me clean
|
| The chance and the game drove Old Silkly insane
|
| What a pain what a strain on my brain it was
|
| A fish on a hook I was rattled and shook 'cause I lost my stake
|
| I took that serious
|
| All of my life was a laugh and a joke
|
| A drink and a smoke
|
| And then I passed out on the floor
|
| Again and again and again and again and again
|
| Serious it was serious oh so serious
|
| Serious it was serious oh so serious
|
| All of my life was a laugh and a joke
|
| A drink and a smoke
|
| And then I passed out on the floor
|
| Or a friend
|
| Again and again and again and again and again
|
| All of my life was a laugh and a joke
|
| A drink and a smoke
|
| And then I passed out on the floor
|
| Or a friend
|
| Again and again and again and again and again and again
|
| And again and again and again and again and again
|
| And again and again |
