Follow The Deal On Down (12-11-24) |
I had a gamblin' man |
He’s hard to understand |
He just give me worries and goin' around |
He was scheming to his dice |
Couldn’t give him no advice |
He followed the deal on down |
He was a gambler |
I mean he was a gambler |
And he’d always lay his money down |
If he win or if he lose |
He would never sing the blues |
He followed the deal on down |
He took sick the other day |
And his bills i had to pay |
None of his good friends could be found |
Not a penny to his name |
Of course he’s not to blame |
Lord, he followed the deal on down |
He was a gambler |
Yes he was a gambler |
And he would always go from town to town |
Gamblin' life he’d crave |
It lays a poor boy in his grave |
He followed the deal on down |
