Gamblin' Charlie

歌詞

Way down on the levee, down by Camp Number Nine Way down on the levee, down by Camp Number Nine If you pass my house, you will hear me cryin' He shot a dollar and a nickel, he caught a point black nine He shot a dollar and a nickel, he caught a point black nine Says, "Sally was a good girl, she know to be a good man's friend" She taken money from her huzman, give it to her gamblin' man She taken money from her huzman, give it to her gamblin' man Sayin', the train come skippin' and the fool come rollin' down "I am crazy 'bout my gamblin' and I don't want nobody else "I am crazy 'bout my gamblin' and I don't want nobody else And if he don't stop me, I'll be rowdy all my days" She done pawned all of her things, she done pawned my watch and chain She done pawned all of her things, she done pawned my watch and chain Says, by this time, we haven't got a doggone thing What can I do, baby, honey, to change your mind? What can I do, baby, honey, to change your mind? "Ain't so much to do, daddy, but be so nice and kind" Says, I'm leavin' town, cryin' won't make me stay Says, I'm leavin' town, cryin' won't make me stay Well, the more you cry, further I'm goin' away
