Gamblin' Man

Bonnie Raitt · Sweet Forgiveness [1977]

Their eyes are down and the track looks slow

It don't look like a good thing

Your horse could jump it when the pack runs wild

It don't look like a sure thing.



You must be crazy

To gamble this way

The kids are crying

And your bills ain't paid

Gamblin' man, ramblin' fool

I must be crazy to gamble on you.



The deal is done so you slip right in

You got the depth but you can't win

The cards are cold and the cut feels thin

You got the deck but you can't win.



You must be crazy

To gamble this way

The kids are hungry

And your brain ain't paid

Gamblin' man, ramblin' fool

I must be crazy to gamble on you.



Gamblin' man, you're a ramblin' fool

I must be crazy to gamble on you...
