Gamblin' Man's Blues
Gamblin' Man's Heartache: Love's Betrayal in Blues
Lyrics
I'm a gamblin' man
I identify as someone who engages in gambling.
And I gambled my love today
I took a risk with my love and relationships today.
I'm a gamblin' man
I continue to be a person who enjoys gambling.
And I gambled my love today
Once again, I took a chance with my love today.
If I lose one more time
If I experience another loss in love,
Lord knows, I'll just have to fade away
I may face significant consequences or difficulties.
I gamble with the blues
I take risks and face challenges, even with emotional struggles like the blues.
Good Lord says that ain't right
The divine authority disapproves of my approach, particularly gambling with emotional pain.
I gamble with the blues
Despite the disapproval, I persist in taking chances with the blues.
Good Lord says that ain't right
The divine authority emphasizes that such actions are not morally right.
He says son, now you listen here
The divine authority imparts a message, advising me to pay attention.
You mess with me
If I continue to challenge the divine authority,
I'll have to teach you right
I will be taught a lesson or face consequences for my actions.
I'm a gamblin' man
I persist in being a person who engages in gambling.
You know I even gamble with my friends
My risky behavior extends to gambling even with my friends.
I'm a gamblin' man
Continuing to take risks, even in friendships.
You know I even gamble with my friends
I take chances, risking friendships in the process.
Sometimes I win
At times, I experience success in my gambling endeavors.
Sometimes I lose, you know that depends
Other times, I face failures or losses, depending on circumstances.
Sometimes I win
Reiterating the unpredictable nature of my gambling outcomes.
Sometimes I lose, Lord that depends
Highlighting the variable nature of winning and losing in gambling.
'Cause I'm a gamblin' man
Summarizing my identity as someone who consistently engages in gambling.
Gamblin' man
Reaffirming that I am indeed a person who embraces the lifestyle of a gambler.
