Eric Sardinas Gambling Man Blues Lyrics

"well, yeah... I'll tell you about bein' a gambling
man. back at that time, I'd take my guitar, make me a
few nickels, and then I'd get to get down to the game
and gamble, and that's where I could break some up, and
then I'm gone."

I'm a gambling man'
gamblin'... all night long
well, I'm a gambling man'
gamble... all night long

"yeah"

I'm gonna gamble this time, baby
bring my good gal home

gamblin' down in new orleans
gamblin' down on rampart street
well, I gamble in new orleans
gamble down on rampart street
I fell in love with a little ol' girl
and her name was peggy dee

"Yeah... play it, Honeyboy"

"Yeah... yeah"

I'm a gamblin' man
gamble from door to door
I'm a gamblin' man
gamble from door to door

yes, I'm gonna keep on gamblin' my little girl don't love me no more

"yeah"

I'm a gambling man'
gamble from town to town
I'm a gambling man'
gamble from town to town

yes, ain't gonna stop my ways, baby
'til I bring my bull calf home

"alright!"
"alright, here we go, now..."
"yeah!"
"alright, man..."
"is that alright, Honeyboy?"
"you sound alright to me!"

gamblin' down in loosianna
gamblin' down on old man needle's sugar farm
gamblin' down in loosianna
gamblin' down on old man needle's sugar farm
you know I can't never get lucky
to win my train fare home

"yeah, yeah! Charlie Patton used to do that, too... you
see what I mean? you're right in there... you know it,
you're right in there! yeah, that sounds good..."
