I love to gamble, gamblin's all I do
I love to gamble, gamblin's all I do
And when I lose, it never makes me blue

I gambled away my money, I gambled away my shack
I gambled away my money, I gambled away my shack
Same way I lost it, same way I get it back

I won a woman in a poker game
I won a woman in a poker game
I lost her too, win another just the same

Sometimes I'm rich, sometimes I ain't got a cent
Sometimes I'm rich, sometimes I ain't got a cent
But I've had a good time, every way I went
