Blind Blake — Poker Woman Blues lyrics

Lyrics

I love to gamble: and gambling’s all I do And when I lose: it never makes me blue
I gambled away my money: and I gambled away my shack
Same way I lost it: same way I’ll get it back
I won a woman: in a poker game
I lost her too: win another one just the same
Sometime I’m rich: sometime I ain’t got a cent
But I’ve had a good time: everywhere I went
Got a new mama: ain’t going to gamble her away
Going to keep her with me: each and every day
