Jimmie Rodgers - Gambling Polka Dot Blues Lyrics

I thought I was a gambler broke every shark in townUntil I met a rounder who called all I put downWe laid the cards on the table, he drew an ace high handHe bet his watch and I called it and lost my money like a manI've got them polka dot blues, oh them polka dot bluesLost my hat and my coat and my straight lace shoesI sold my watch and went back to loseThe mean old gambling polka dot blues, the gambling polka dot bluesMy gal had plenty and I got twenty then went back and sat downI got a four but I thought it was more as we dealt the cards aroundI set the deck on the table and bet him all I could standI turned over a measly four he had another ace high handI've got them polka dot blues, oh them polka dot bluesLost my hat and my coat and my straight lace shoesI sold my watch and went back to loseThe mean old gambling polka dot blues, the gambling polka dot blues
