Life Is A Gamble Lyrics - Singles - Brownie Mcghee

Get out the cards and they wouldn't notch it 

Get on the horses and they wouldn't knock it 

I'm not gonna give up, I'm gonna try it again 

Keep on bettin', someday Brownie's bound to win 

Life is a gamble 

People, come rain, come shine 

But if you keep on betting 

You're bound to win sometime 

Take a horse to water but you can't make him drink 

Take a charge to school but you can't lick a finger 

You can dig a pit for somebody else 

You don't want, my friend to fall in that, oh, yourself 

Life is a gamble 

People, come rain, come shine 

But if you keep on tryin' 

You're bound to win sometime 

Your woman leaves you, please don't wear no black 

Two to one, she may come squealing back 

If outstretched, here's what she may say 

"Please forgive me, Brownie for walkin' away" 

Life is a gamble 

People, come rain, come shine 

But if you keep on waitin' 

You're bound, bound to win sometime 

Rabbit and a turtle had a race one day 

Rabbit could beat the turtle in any old way 

The rabbit thought he was so fast 

He laid down and went to sleep 

When he woke up that old slow turtle had his deal 

Life is a gamble 

People come rain, come shine 

But if you keep on movin' 

You're bound to win sometime 

Sometime, sometime
