| My guitar, my guitar…
|
| Tell of the hearts that this vagabond has broken
|
| Tell of the fun that I’ve had
|
| Tell of the lovin' and the laughin' and the jokin'
|
| Back when I was glad, Lord-Lord, back when I was glad
|
| Tell it pretty, guitar
|
| Tell of the days when the riverboat was turnin'
|
| Lord, what a gambler’s spree
|
| Tell her of the hotty way ol' lady luck was burnin'
|
| Everyone but me, yeah lucky me, everyone but me
|
| Now, guitar
|
| Tell of the time when I took my biggest gamble
|
| In a game where hearts were high
|
| Tell of the funny way my heart began to ramble
|
| When she caught my eye, yeah when she caught my eye
|
| Tell it pretty, guitar
|
| Tell all the folks that this life’s a game of poker
|
| A fool and gold must part
|
| But in this hectic world the biggest fool’s the joker
|
| Who gambles with his heart, Lord-Lord, who gambles with his heart
|
| One last time guitar
|
| And that’s the story of a gambler’s guitar… |
