Gambler’s Bride Lyrics by Joe Ely

Joe Ely

0

[Verse 1]
Hello, my babe. I'm back to stay
You're sure wearing fine pretty things
But where is your ring, your ring on the chain
I gave you last summer in the fallin' rain?

"Your ring," she said, "It never meant a thing
I gave your ring away
I met a man, a gamblin' man
Said he would buy me the Milky Way"

[Verse 2]
Away, away, I've been away
I've been so many miles
Where is the smile that once lit your face?
It seems a tear has taken its place

"My smile," she sighed, with a look a little wild
"My smile it is possessed
I met a man, a gamblin' man
Said he would buy me happiness"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I never, I never, you know I never
I never had much to give
But I gave you my heart, now where is your heart?
It was all that I had from the very start

"My heart," she cried, it has been bought"
She looked at me with fear
"I married that man, that gamblin' man
Who'd shoot you if he found you here"
