Lyrics Gambler's Blues - Golden Earring

Gambler's Blues

The table’s smokin'
I got money to burn
Get ready to spin that wheel again
I came to gamble — not to dance tonight
So cut the cards and deal ‘em nice
All or nothing' roll the dice
Son of a gun — there’s somethin' goin' on
Yeah, today’s my lucky day
Lady luck please come my way
I got money to burn — money to burn tonight
And as the dealer — calls the play
I feel the shiver — comin' over me
Feel it in my fingertips allright
Cards slidin' faster and slicker
Than a hooker’s lips in the neon light
I do what I do — I’m a gamblin' man
I gamble on life and I gamble on love
Gamble on luck from above anyway I can
Seven card stud — with a full-house hand
I’m a jackpot maniac, my friend
Tequila shots — one more chance
For the blackjack gamblin' man
The devil bets — he bets on hell
And seven come eleven right
Holdin' eights and aces thight
The gambler bets on heaven tonight
The devil bets — he bets on hell
Goin' in for the kill
Holding eights and aces tight
It’s the gambler’s bet tonight
On heaven tonight
