Hollies Russian Roulette Lyrics

Russian Roulette Lyrics

Back street dive down in New Orleans 

gambler shows his face 

The
place was full of jacks and queens 

but I never came up with that
bread-winning ace 



Whisky's cheap at twice the price 

when
it kills the pain of bad tumbling dice 

The scene's all set for an IOU


Give it one more spin then that's me I'm through 



The
wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette 

I'm takin' a chance and I'm
gunnin' for red 

The wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette 

I'm takin' a chance and I'm gunnin' for red 



Lost my shirt
headed for the bar 

Gonna drown my sorrows in a whisky jar 

Head
hung low because I got beat 

I see a hundred dollar bill layin' at my
feet 



chorus 



Headed for the tables I'm wearin' my
shades 

Got to find me a lucky green top, 

can't be one I've played


My hands are shakin' don't wanna lose my cool 

Should I keep the
big C or gamble like a fool? 



chorus
