"Arkansas Gambler" lyrics

Just an Arkansas gambler, traveler by trade
Arkansas gambler, traveler by trade
[?] ain't never been paid
Arkansas gambler, traveler by trade
Oh, up to a table in Little Rock town
Went up to a table in Little Rock town
Money on the mark and I play them cards around
Caught a bluff and the deal's goin' down

High and high and bound to fall
I ain't goin' back to Arkansas
Big Rock rollin' Little Rock halls
Ain't goin' back to Arkansas

Made my last dollar on the queen of hearts
Bet my last dollar on the queen of hearts
Left me at the turn and tore me all apart
Made my last dollar on the queen of hearts
First drew the ace and second drew the straight
First drew the ace and second drew the straight
Third drew the flush, me I drew my .38
Tossed up the table and I headed for the gate

High and high and bound to fall
I ain't goin' back to Arkansas
Big Rock rollin' Little Rock halls
I ain't goin' back to Arkansas

Law ran me down at the Chico line
Law ran me down at the Chico line
Too busy runnin' boys, I shoulda been flyin'
Law ran me down at the Chico line
So, jumped in the river and I can't make no stand
Jumped in the river, no I can't make no stand
Got washed out way down in Louisian'
Broke down and busted, but a free born man

High and high and bound to fall
I ain't goin' back to Arkansas
Big Rock rollin' Little Rock halls
I ain't goin' back to Arkansas
