Gambler’s Blues Lyrics by Otis Rush

Mourning in the Morning

0

You know I once was a gambler, boy, but I lost my money soon
Yes, I once was a gambler, boy, but I lost my money soon
Yes, I lost all of my money some other, some other gambler can have my room

You know I lost all my money, in a no good gambling game
Yes, I lost all my money, boys, in a no good gambling game
I was on my bad luck, kept gambling just the same

When you lose that old no good money, you sit around with your head hung down
When you lose that old no good money, you sit around with your head hung down
Yeah, wake up next morning happy, I'm the best gambler in this town
