Lyrics
Well, Uncle Jack was a gambler
Every night he lost all he had
Every night he lost all he had
Along about 3 A.M. he'd want it all back
He talked through the side of his mouth
He's chomping on some big cigar
Chomping on some big cigar
He used to tell me stories about the war
And if I had to do it over, all over again
Now you know I want to be just like him
Hey, Uncle Jack met a movie star
And he bragged it up all over town
Bragged it up all over town
Well, the funny thing is she was never around
I saw the TV set of cards flat on her back
Set of cards flat on her back
She said she'd bring back a nice Lincoln for Uncle Jack
If I had to do it over, all over again
Now you know I want to be just like him
Well, Uncle Jack was a natural
Gambling everything all his life, oh
Gambling everything all his life
He was forty-nine on the day he lost his wife
Well, he lost her in a card game
Bluffed and he only had a pair
Bluffed and he only had a pair
Along about 3 A.M. he went home and left her there
If I had to do it over, all over again
Now you know I want to be just like him
Well, if I had to do it over, all over again
Now you know I want to be just like him
