The Gambler (исполнитель: Emerson, Lake & Palmer)
Hey mister gimme back them dice You're holding all the green but you're gonna lose a slice Rock and roll bless my soul, my wallet's gettin' thinner Sevens up, thank you Lord, now you're looking at a winner Cos I'm a member of a gamblin' breed. And when the actions hot, it gets me all I need So if you find me in our town, won't you lay your money down? It's satisfaction guaranteed You get heaven, you'll get [bad word] There ain't no way for you to tell with a gamblin' man Hey mama give me one more ace I'm looking at a knave and he's laughing in my face Raise the pot bet the lot we could all be dead tomorrow I got an edge on the ledge not another man will follow Cos I'm a member... I said I'm a gambler, there's no question of that But I never gamble on a woman, that's a matter of fact Just ain't no predictin', which way their love will roll One moment they're red hot - the next they're icy cold Oh Lord, have mercy, give what wheel a spin It's takin' candy from a baby in the mood I'm in Rock and roll bless my soul, my wallet's lookin' healthy [bad word] easy go, I never wanted to be wealthy Just a paid up member of a gamblin' breed And when the actions hot it gets me all I need So if you find me in your town won't you lay your money down? It's satisfaction guaranteed You get heaven, you'll get [bad word] there ain't no way for you to tell With a gamblin' man Lay your money down
