Gambler's Blues Lyrics - Paradise In Distress - Golden Earring

From the Albums: 

* Paradise in distress 

* Last blast of the century 

The table's smokin' 

I got money to burn 

Get ready to spin that wheel again 

I came to gamble not to dance tonight 

So cut the cards and deal 'em nice 

All or nothing' roll the dice 

Son of a gun there's somethin' goin' on 

Yeah, today's my lucky day 

Lady luck please come my way 

I got money to burn money to burn tonight 

And as the dealer calls the play 

I feel the shiver comin' over me 

Feel it in my fingertips allright 

Cards slidin' faster and slicker 

Than a hooker's lips in the neon light 

I do what I do I'm a gamblin' man 

I gamble on life and I gamble on love 

Gamble on luck from above anyway I can 

Seven card stud with a full-house hand 

I'm a jackpot maniac, my friend 

Tequila shots one more chance 

For the blackjack gamblin' man 

The devil bets he bets on hell 

And seven come eleven right 

Holdin' eights and aces thight 

The gambler bets on heaven tonight 

The devil bets he bets on hell 

Goin' in for the kill 

Holding eights and aces tight 

It's the gambler's bet tonight 

On heaven tonight
