Russian Roulette Lyrics - Hollies

Back street dive down in New Orleans 

Gambler shows his face 

The place was full of jacks and queens 

But I never came up with that bread-winning ace 

Whisky's cheap at twice the price 

When it kills the pain of bad tumbling dice 

The scene's all set for an IOU 

Give it one more spin then that's me I'm through 

The wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette 

I'm takin' a chance and I'm gunnin' for red 

The wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette 

I'm takin' a chance and I'm gunnin' for red

Lost my shirt headed for the bar 

Gonna drown my sorrows in a whisky jar 

Head hung low because I got beat 

I see a hundred dollar bill layin' at my feet 

The wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette 

I'm takin' a chance and I'm gunnin' for red 

The wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette 

I'm takin' a chance and I'm gunnin' for red 

Headed for the tables I'm wearin' my shades 

Got to find me a lucky green top, 

Can't be one I've played 

My hands are shakin' don't wanna lose my cool 

Should I keep the big C or gamble like a fool?
