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...
