Gambler’s Heart |
Oh brother let me take my rest |
And leave this wild and wicked west |
Where the river runs red with blood |
Until it all dries up and turns to mud |
I heard you shot a lawman down |
At a card game south of Oakland town |
A Russell city marshall dead |
All the California papers read |
You know by now they’ve seen your face |
Dead or alive it’s a thousand dollar race |
With dust in your eyes it’s hard to see |
Oh brother I come to take you home with me |
Well it didn’t seem that long ago |
You were breaking ground in Calico |
But a miner’s life just wouldn’t hold |
For a gamblers heart will never fold |
Yeah so you headed out to 'Frisco bay |
Where the miner’s gambled all their pay |
But you’re never one to settle down |
You just dealt your hand from town to town |
A gamblers heart is bound to roam |
Wherever you hang your hat is home |
If I ever leave this broken land |
I’ll be headed home for Alabama |
Where the honeysuckle smells so sweet |
And the moonshine knocks you off your feet |
I dreaming out of my bellows bed |
And a feathered pillow 'neath my head |
And I say a prayer for my brother Jack |
'Cause I know now he ain’t coming back |
I know right now it’s plain to see |
Oh brother I only want you to be free |
With dust in your eyes it’s hard to see |
And rust in your skies it’s hard to breathe |
Oh brother I only want you to be free |
Oh brother I only want you to be free |
Oh brother let me take my rest |
And leave this wild and wicked west |
