Lyrics

Well, I lost my shirt at a card game
In which I never had a chance
Well, I lost my shirt at a card game
In which I never had a chance
The deck was marked, the game was rigged
You could not tell at a glance
Well, I lost my job on the weekend
And I was back out on the street
Well, I lost my job on the weekend
And I was back out on the street
There's no way to get a dollar
I spent it at the roulette wheel

Well, I walk on hot coals, sleep on a bed of nails
Walk on thin ice, skate on razor blades
Got my little girl beside me, I just cannot fail

Well, I spent it all down at the race track
All the way my horse led the field
I spent it all down at the race track
All the way my horse led the field
It was a hoax, the mare was doped
A length to win she fell down on her knees
See, I'm gonna throw away my lucky penny
Rabbit's foot and gypsy ring
Throw away my lucky penny
Rabbit's foot and gypsy ring
Not gonna gamble on my baby
It's three to one, you'll never win
Well, I walk on hot coals, sleep on a bed of nails
Walk on thin ice, skate on, skate on, skate on
Got my little girl beside me, I just cannot fail
Cannot fail
