A Gamblers Diary
A GAMBLERS DIARY
Lady luck gave me a smile
Although it took just a little while
A gamblers life is always hard
I play the horses and I play the cards
Always have those broken dreams
I lose more than I win it seems
Say about me what you will
It’s my life and it pays the bills
On and on it never ends
I wake up and do it again
The queen of hearts is always gold
If it’s the jack of diamonds you better fold
And from the tables to the tracks
Hoping I’ll win enough to come back
Bet on one to win the other to show
I might get rich you never know
So there it is it’s just my way
Live to gamble another day
