Gambler Lyrics - Heaven And Earth - John Martyn

My father was a gambler 

Gambled every day 

My daddy was a gambler some kind 

Gambled his life away 

My father was a gambler 

Always lost to me 

My father was a gambler 

Used to being beaten let me tell you so 

Caught out 

With a shout 

And playing poker 

With dogs and horses, 52 cards 

He was a joker 

Call the odds, call the shots, 

My father was a gambler 

I swear it's the truth 

Call you out and make mince meat of you 

Call you out and make you pay, oh 

You can't pay, you can't play, that's what he told me, that's what he said 

You can't play, you can't pay, you can't play, you can't pay 

We don't boy money cross my table 

First rule of the joker 

First rule of the joker 

Daddy was a gambler 

Daddy was a bad bad boy 

My daddy was a gambler man 

My daddy gambled and sowed the seed 

My daddy how are you 

How are you 

Filled some peoples hearts with joy 

Never cheated always beaten 

Never beaten never cheated always smiled 

Fly on the wall the beetle crawled by 

Daddy was a gambler 

A mean chip off the old block 

Look him in the eye and book em 

Look him in the eye and turn away 

Look him in the eye and book em.
