Intro 1
(D major)
Verse 1
Well, (D major) I'm a gamblin' man,
and I lay my money down.
But I gambled (G major) for love and lost
Now (D major) I'm leavin',
well I'm leavin' your town
Your bourgeois town
Well I gave her most of all my money
To buy her pretty dresses and things,
but she (G major) left me for a richer man,
and to (D major) sleep in a bed with springs.
I'm gonna buy me a silver inlaid casket
Made of hickory,
well -seasoned and old
Gonna have vel (G major) vet lining
inside of (D major) my (G major) casket
Oh, (D major) hell with nails of solid gold
Oh, young man, oh, listen to me
Don't you ever take a,
take a deck of cards in your hand.
Don't give your (G major) money to any (D major) wo (G major) man.
Oh, she'll (D major) leave you, she'll just leave you
for a richer man.
For a richer man.
Lord, they all got the money,
they got the women.
Well I am, yes I'm a gamblin' man
And I lay my money down
But I gamble (G major) for love and loss
Now (D major) I'm leavin', hell, I'm leavin',
leavin' your town.
Well, I'm leavin' your
bourgeois town.
Besides, your cops don't like me here.
And the beer's three -two.
And the women don't like men.
Especially broke men. you
