Son Of A Rotten Gambler Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

(Chip Taylor) 

And his love will be his vision and he'll take you where you stand 

And will you stand your life by his and help the boy become a man 

Will he be the son of his father his father the teacher 

Teaching love and honesty and being his own man handler 

Or the son of the son of a run-of-the-mill rotten rotten gambler. 

Will the devil be gettin' to you as you look back over what you've done 

And what you've done was it for reason or for rhyme or was it just for fun 

Will he be the son of his father his father the teacher 

Teaching love and honesty and being his own man handler 

Or the son of the son of a run-of-the-mill rotten rotten gambler.

Back on the road now you can lose your head 

There ain't no kingdom for the gambling man 

You know the road now and you've made your stand 

When his eyes shine upon you shine upon you 

Will he be the son of his father his father the teacher 

Teaching love and honesty and being his own man handler 

Or the son of the son of a run-of-the-mill rotten rotten gambler.

Back on the road nowBack on the road now you can lose your head 

There ain't no kingdom for the gambling man 

You know the road now and you've made your stand 

When his eyes shine upon you shine upon you 

Will he be the son of his father his father the teacher 

Teaching love and honesty and being his own man handler 

Or the son of the son of a run-of-the-mill rotten rotten gambler. 

Will he be the son of his father the teacher 

Teaching love and honesty and being his own man handler 

Or the son of the son of a run-of-the-mill rotten rotten gambler...
