Once A Gambler Lyrics - Lightnin' Hopkins

Yeah, you know I once was a gambler 

But I lost my money roll 

Yeah, you know I once was a gambler 

Boy, but I lost my money roll 

That's the reason I don't have no sweet woman 

Now I done lost my happy home 

You take it down when you lose that no good money 

He sat around with his head hung down 

When you lose that old dog gone money 

You sit around with your head hung down 

You will try to borrow you fifty dollars 

To start all over again in another town

Too late you gonna lose 

Your friends don't pay you no money 

Baby, if you only will forgive me 

I won't gamble no more 

If you only will forgive me, baby 

Lord, have mercy, poor Lightnin' won't gamble no more 

She says I can't help you now 

Sold out to the devil and that's no way to go 

And I couldn't help but cry 

I cried like I did 

Photos 

She said I didn't want you to gamble, Lightnin' 

You know who I am, I'm your wife 

She said I didn't want you to gamble, Lightnin' 

You know who I am, I am your wife 

She's looking at, brother, just like you lost your money 

You had a good chance to lose your life 

So go ahead on, Lightnin'
