(Emerson, Lake, Pete Sinfield)

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
