Jimmie Rodgers - Gambling Bar Room Blues lyrics



-Solo-

I thought I was a gambler, broke ev'ry shark in town
Until I met a rounder who called all I put down
We laid the cards on the table, he drew an ace-high hand
He bet his watch and I called it and lost my money like a man

I've got them polka dot blues, oh, them polka dot blues
Lost my hat and my coat and my straight-laced shoes
I sold my watch and went back to lose
The mean old gambling polka dot blues

-Yodel- The gambling polka dot blues -Solo-

My gal had plenty and I got twenty, then went back and sat down
I got a four but I thought it was more, as we dealt the cards around
I sat the deck on the table and bet him all I could stand
I turned over a measly four, he had another ace-high hand

I've got them polka dot blues, oh, them polka dot blues
Lost my hat and my coat and my straight-laced shoes
I sold my watch and went back to lose
The mean old gambling polka dot blues

-Yodel- The gambling polka dot blues
