Gambler

I rambled and I gambled
In the towns of dust and dirt
I mumbled and I stumbled
And my body felt badly hurt
Yeah I hollered "Get a doctor"
But nobody heard a sound
So I laid there, drunk and hurting
And I cursed the one-horse town
For I'd robbed them of their money
And I made love to their wives
Cos the whole world loves a gambler, oh yeah

You make it and you take it
And you don't think twice
You're a hustler, three handed shuffler
With a heart as cold as ice
High flyer, womanizer
With a tattoo on your gun
Child of love in a whorehouse
You're nobody's son
So you see why I've no affection
I've never had no real love and no religion
Make my own decisions, oh yeah

Somebody, won't you help me?
Need a friend
Somebody, won't you help me?
I need a friend
