Eddy Clearwater Big Time Gambler Lyrics

Big Time Gambler Lyrics

I'm a big time gambler

  That's why I'm always on the move

I'm a big
time gambler

  That's why I'm always on the move

Always tryin' my
best to win

  But somehow or other always lose



Started
gamblin' Friday night

Just as soon as I got paid

But before the
game was over

I lost every dime I made

I say I'm a big time
gambler

  I've got Las Vegas in my veins

And when it comes to
races

  Bettin' on horses is my thing

(that's why I've always got
the blues)



Like most big time gamblers

  You know they've
always got the blues

Just like most big time gamblers

  You know
they've always got the blues

You know they never stop gamblin'

 
Until they lose their socks and shoes
