Lyrics
Well, I am a gamblin' man
And I lay my money down
But I gambled for love and lost
Now I'm leavin', well, I'm leavin' your town
Your bourgeois town
Well, I gave her most all my money
To buy her pretty dresses and things
But she left me for a richer man
And to sleep in a bed with springs
I'm gonna buy me a silver inlaid casket
Made of hickory, well-seasoned and old
Gonna have velvet linin' inside of my casket
Oh, held with nails of solid gold
Oh, young man, oh, listen to me
Don't you ever take, take a deck of cards in your hand
Don't give your money to any woman
Or she'll leave you, she'll just leave you for a richer man, yeah
For a richer man, Lord, they all got the money, they got the women
Well, I am, yes, I'm a gamblin' man
And I lay my money down
But I gambled for love and lost
Now I'm leavin', yeah, I'm leavin', leavin' your town
Well, I'm leavin' your bourgeois town
Besides, your cops don't like me here
And the beer's three, too
And the women don't like men
Especially broke men
