[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Well, I'm a gamblin' man,
and I lay my money down.
But I [G]gambled for love and lost
Now [D]I'm leavin',
well I'm leavin' your town
Your bourgeois town
Well I gave her most of all my money
To buy her pretty dresses and things,
but she [G]left me for a richer man,
and to [D]sleep in a bed with springs.
I'm gonna buy me a silver inlaid casket
Made of hickory,
well -seasoned and old
Gonna have vel[G]vet lining
inside of [D]my [G]casket
Oh, [D]hell with nails of solid gold
Oh, young man, oh, listen to me
Don't you ever take a,
take a deck of cards in your hand.
Don't give your [G]money to [D]any wo[G]man.
Oh, she'll [D]leave you, she'll just leave you
for a richer man.
For a richer man.
Lord, they all got the money,
they got the women.
Well I am, yes I'm a gamblin' man
And I lay my money down
But I [G]gamble for love and loss
Now [D]I'm leavin', hell, I'm leavin',
leavin' your town.
Well, I'm leavin' your
bourgeois town.
Besides, your cops don't like me here.
And the beer's three -two.
And the women don't like men.
Especially broke men. you
