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
