"Gambling Blues" lyrics - JOHN HAMMOND

I once was a gambler,
I bet my money wrong.
I once was a gamble,
I bet my money wrong.
Look for my baby,
Mess up my happy home.

Look for my money,
Look for my watch and chain.
Look for my money,
You know she pawned my watch and chain.
Told the DA,
Even your name.

I'm through with gambling,
Some other fool can have my room,
I'm through with gambling,
Some other fool can have my room.
Might die of whisky,
But gambling sure won't be my doom.
