Song lyrics:
The Gambler
ON A WARM SUMMER’S EVENIN’
ON A TRAIN
BOUND FOR NOWHERE
I MET UP WITH A GAMBLER
WE WERE BOTH
TOO TIRED TO SLEEP
SO WE TOOK TURNS A-STARIN’
OUT THE WINDOW
AT THE DARKNESS
’TIL BOREDOM OVERTOOK US
AND HE BEGAN TO SPEAK
HE SAID SON, I’VE MADE MY LIFE
OUT OF READIN’ PEOPLE’S FACES
AND KNOWIN’ WHAT
THE CARDS WERE
BY THE WAY
THEY HELD THEIR EYES
SO, IF YOU DON’T
MIND ME SAYIN’
I CAN SEE YOU’RE OUT OF ACES
FOR A TASTE OF YOUR WHISKEY
I’LL GIVE YOU SOME ADVICE
SO, I HANDED HIM MY BOTTLE
AND HE DRANK DOWN
MY LAST SWALLOW
THEN HE BUMMED A CIGARETTE
AND ASKED ME FOR A LIGHT
THEN THE NIGHT
GOT DEATHLY QUIET
AND HIS FACE
LOST ALL EXPRESSION
SAID IF YOU’RE GONNA
PLAY THE GAME, BOY
YOU GOTTA LEARN
TO PLAY IT RIGHT
YOU GOT TO KNOW
WHEN TO HOLD ’EM
KNOW WHEN TO FOLD ’EM
KNOW WHEN TO WALK AWAY
KNOW WHEN TO RUN
YOU NEVER COUNT YOUR MONEY
WHEN YOU’RE SITTIN’
AT THE TABLE
THERE’LL BE TIME
ENOUGH FOR COUNTIN’
WHEN THE DEALIN’S DONE
Coward Of The County
EVERYONE CONSIDERED HIM
THE COWARD OF THE COUNTY
HE’D NEVER STOOD
ONE SINGLE TIME
TO PROVE THE COUNTY WRONG
HIS MAMA NAMED HIM TOMMY
BUT FOLKS JUST
CALLED HIM YELLOW
BUT SOMETHIN’ ALWAYS TOLD ME
THEY WERE READIN’
TOMMY WRONG
HE WAS ONLY TEN YEARS OLD
WHEN HIS DADDY DIED IN PRISON
I LOOKED AFTER TOMMY
’CAUSE HE WAS
MY BROTHER’S SON
I STILL RECALL THE FINAL WORDS
MY BROTHER SAID TO TOMMY
SON, MY LIFE IS OVER
BUT YOURS HAS JUST BEGUN
PROMISE ME, SON
NOT TO DO THE THINGS I’VE DONE
WALK AWAY FROM
TROUBLE IF YOU CAN
AND IT WON’T MEAN YOU’RE WEAK
IF YOU TURN THE OTHER CHEEK
I HOPE YOU’RE OLD ENOUGH
TO UNDERSTAND
SON, YOU DON’T HAVE
TO FIGHT TO BE A MAN
Long Arm Of The Law
IN CUMBERLAND KENTUCKY
ON A COOL AUTUMN EVENIN’
BILLY LAY IN LOVE
WITH MARY-ANN
SHE WAS A RICH
JUDGE’S DAUGHTER
HE WAS THE SON OF A MINER
BUT THAT NIGHT THEIR LOVE
WAS MORE THAN
THEY COULD STAND
THE JUDGE SAID
TO HIS DAUGHTER
THAT SON OF THAT COAL MINER
IS SOMEONE YOU’D
DO WELL TO LEAVE ALONE
SHE KNEW HER DAD SO WELL
SHE KNEW SHE COULDN’T TELL
BUT THE TRUTH WAS BOUND
TO SHOW BEFORE TOO LONG
THEIR LOVE HAD STARTED
GROWIN’ ON ITS OWN
YOU CAN’T OUTRUN
THE LONG ARM OF THE LAW
NO, YOU CAN’T OUTRUN
THE LONG ARM OF THE LAW
Ruby, Don’t Take
Your Love To Town
YOU’VE PAINTED UP YOUR LIPS
AND ROLLED AND CURLED
YOUR TINTED HAIR
RUBY, ARE YOU
CONTEMPLATING
GOING OUT SOMEWHERE
THE SHADOW ON THE WALL
TELLS ME THE SUN
IS GOIN’ DOWN
OH RUBY.....
DON’T TAKE YOUR LOVE TO TOWN
IT WASN’T ME THAT STARTED
THAT OLD CRAZY ASIAN WAR
BUT I WAS PROUD TO GO
AND DO MY PATRIOTIC CHORE
AND YES, IT’S TRUE THAT
I’M NOT THE MAN I USED TO BE
OH RUBY.....
FOR GOD SAKES TURN AROUND
