A GAMBLERS DIARY

A GAMBLERS DIARY

Lady luck gave me a smile

Although it took just a little while

A gamblers life is always hard

I play the horses and I play the cards

Always have those broken dreams

I lose more than I win it seems

Say about me what you will

It’s my life and it pays the bills

On and on it never ends

I wake up and do it again

The queen of hearts is always gold

If it’s the jack of diamonds you better fold

And from the tables to the tracks

Hoping I’ll win enough to come back

Bet on one to win the other to show

I might get rich you never know

So there it is it’s just my way

Live to gamble another day
