My daddy was a gambler some kind
Used to being beaten let me tell you so
With dogs and horses, 52 cards
Call the odds, call the shots,
Call you out and make mince meat of you
Call you out and make you pay, oh
You can't pay, you can′t play, that's what he told me, that's what he said
You can′t play, you can′t pay, you can't play, you can′t pay
We don't boy money cross my table
My daddy was a gambler man
My daddy gambled and sowed the seed
Filled some peoples hearts with joy
Never cheated always beaten
Never beaten never cheated always smiled
Fly on the wall the beetle crawled by
A mean chip off the old block
Look him in the eye and book em
Look him in the eye and turn away
Look him in the eye and book em.
