Mike Ness - Gamblin' Man

lead singer of Social Distortion Mike Ness' solo album " Under The Influences"

Lyrics:
Well Im a rovin gambler Ive seen most every town
When ever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down
Gonna lay my money down, yea gonna lay my money down

Ive gambled out in Texas and down in New Orleans
Ive lost a pot with four of a kind and won with a couple of queens
Gonna Bluff with a couple of queens, yea I won with a couple of queens

Well I meet a friend in Frisco and Lady Luck was her name
Yea I couldnt lose with a pair of twos till a woman got in the game
A red head got in the game, yea a woman got in the game

Yea she won my old black panhead and she won my switch blade knife
And when I lost everything I had she told me to bet my life
She told me to bet my life, she told me to bet my life

If you dont wanna lose your freedom, you care about your life
Dont get in a game with a red head thing, youll win yourself a wife
Youll win yourself a wife, now you got yourself a wife

Would you believe Burl Ives did this song, like a hundred years ago? That's the only other version of it I ever heard. Ness' is so much better!
