Gamblers Dream — текст песни (molly hatchet)

On the south side of chicago on

A freezin winter night

In a crowded little bar room

The men were rollin dice

Is winnin by the hundreds

Just rakin it in

When I looked up from the table

Big john lee was walkin in.



Well he grabbed a chair beside me

Said "son count me in"

He looked over at my winnins

He wore an evil grin

Id heard of hs reputation

A fairly dangerous man

Yea I heard ol big john lee

Would pull is gun whenever he can.



Chorus:

I rolled against john lee

Hes a helluva man

Hes hailed from dallas, texas

And hes known throughout the land.

Now the first hour went slowly

Yea tension buildin up

John lee was drinkin jack black

From a dixie cup

He was rollin double too

Had me in a tight

Here comes johns dice again

Good god! its snake eyes.



Chorus:

I rolled against john lee

Hes a helluva man

Hes hailed from dallas, texas

And hes known throughout the land.

Oh, the night was growin colder

The crowd was wearin thin

John lee put up his savings

Thinkin he was gonna win

His hands were startin to tremble

Money gettin low

Aint gonna let this georgia farm boy

Walk outa here with his dough.



Chorus:

I rolled against john lee

Hes a helluva man

Hes hailed from dallas, texas

And hes known throughout the land.
