Gambler's folly

about

Don't fall for it, it'll suck you dry.

lyrics

Bettin’ on the nose makes you feel good about yourself
Something’s gotta give or you might lose your health
Now don’t try to be a part of the show
One-armed bandit ain’t gonna let you go
You can’t keep on goin’ my friend
Gambler’s Folly gonna take you in the end

Going all-in is what you want to do
All or nothing, it’s never enough for you
Vegas was fine till you came along
Black book can’t touch you ‘cause you’ve done no wrong
But you can’t keep on goin’ my friend
Gambler’s Folly gonna take you in the end

Drew aces and eights, I don’t worry about a thing
I’ll call your bluff, and see what your hand’s gonna bring
Bottom dealing won’t save you now
I ain’t done fishing for the overcall
You can’t keep on goin’ my friend
Gambler’s Folly gonna take you in the end

On an outside bet you finally lost control
Playing borrowed money means you’ve dug a hole
Eighty-sixed and the sharks are on your tail
You’re out of money and you’re craving a coffin nail
You can’t keep on goin’ my friend
Gambler’s Folly gonna take you in the end
