Kentucky Gambler Lyrics - Dolly Parton

He wanted more from like 

Than four kids and a wife 

And a job in the dark Kentucky mines 

A twenty-acre farm 

With a shacky house and barn 

That's all he had 

And all he left behind 

At gambling he was lucky 

So he left Kentucky 

Left behind his woman and his kids 

Into the gay casino 

In Nevada's town of Reno 

Kentucky gambler planned to get rich quick

Kentucky gambler, who's gonna love your woman in Kentucky 

Who's gonna be the one to give her what she needs 

Kentucky gambler, who's gonna raise your children in Kentucky 

Who's gonna keep them fed and keep shoes on their feet 

 

At the gamblers' paradise 

Lady luck was on his side 

Kentucky gambler played his cards just right 

He won at everything he played 

Kentucky gambler had it made 

And he should have quit and gone on home that night 

 

But when you love the greenback dollar 

Sorrow's always bound to follow 

Reno dreams fade into neon amber 

And lady luck, she'll leave you on 

She'll saty awhile, and then she's gone 

You'd better go on home Kentucky gambler

But a gambler never seems to stop 

Til he loses all he's got 

And so, Kentucky gambler, he played on 

He played til he lost all he won 

He was right back where he started from 

Then he started wanting to go home 

 

Kentucky gambler, there ain't nobody waiting in Kentucky 

When you walked out, somebody else walked in 

Kentucky gambler, looks like you ain't really very lucky 

Seems to me a gambler looses much more than he wins 

 

So you think about it
