When I look back at my time at the track
And I played, and I played, and I played, and I was
Shooting the c***s at the back of Fat JackĀ“s
Come on, fade me, Jake
I'm a Las Vegas dreamer they took to the cleaners
A bath, what a bath, what a bath I'd take
A fish on a hook, I was rattled and shook, 'cause I lost my stake
I took that serious
All of my life was a laugh and a joke
And a drink and a smoke
And then I passed out on the floor
Again and again, and again, and again, and again
I'm a gambling fool with a roll and cue
Want to play? Want to play? Want to play with me?
Put my a** on the line, rubbed my nose in the grime
And they picked me clean
The chance and the game drove Old Silkly insane
What a pain, what a strain on my brain it was
A fish on a hook, I was rattled and shook, 'cause I lost my stake
I took that serious
All of my life was a laugh and a joke
And a drink and a smoke
And then I passed out on the floor
Again and again, and again, and again, and again
Serious, it was serious, oh-so serious
Serious, it was serious, oh-so serious
All of my life was a laugh and a joke
And a drink and a smoke
And then I passed out on the floor
Or a friend
Again and again, and again, and again, and again
All of my life was a laugh and a joke
And a drink and a smoke
And then I passed out on the floor
Or a friend
Again and again, and again, and again, and again, and again
And again, and again, and again, and again, and again
And again, and again
And I played, and I played, and I played, and I was
Shooting the c***s at the back of Fat JackĀ“s
Come on, fade me, Jake
I'm a Las Vegas dreamer they took to the cleaners
A bath, what a bath, what a bath I'd take
A fish on a hook, I was rattled and shook, 'cause I lost my stake
I took that serious
All of my life was a laugh and a joke
And a drink and a smoke
And then I passed out on the floor
Again and again, and again, and again, and again
I'm a gambling fool with a roll and cue
