Gambling Polka Dot Blues |
| Thought I was a gambler I broke every shark in town |
| Until I met a rounder who called all I put down |
| I put the cards on the table and he drew an ace high hand |
| He bet his watch and I called it and lost my money like a man |
| I’ve got them polka dot blues, the polka dot blues |
| I lost my hat and my coat and my straight lace shoes |
| I sold my watch and went back to lose |
| The mean old gambling polka dot blues |
| Got the gambling polka dot blues |
| My gal had plenty so I got Twenty then went back and sat down |
| I got a Four but I thought it was more as he dealt the cards around |
| He set the deck on the table and I bet him all I could stand |
| Well I turned over a measly Four he had another Ace-high hand |
| Got the gambling polka dot blues |
