"Gambler's Blues" lyrics

I've always been intrigued by a gambler
The way he throws his life out on the line
One day he might be a big high roller
And the next day he won't have a dime

I never thought of myself as a gambler
Though I've wagered on her lovin' many times
And now I'm standing here the empty handed loser
With just her cheating memory left behind

So when you look at me you're lookin' at a gambler
Though I do not bet with money like most do
Lord, I bet my heart her love would be faithful
But lady luck has left me with the blues

Yeah, she had me believin' that she loved me
Even though we'd had rough times before
And now I sit alone and cry for hours
While she's out with the guy she left me for

So when you look at me you're lookin' at a gambler
Though I do not bet with money like most do
Lord, I bet my heart that her love would be faithful
But lady luck has left me with the blues
Oh, yeah
