《Kentucky Gambler》歌词

[00:00:00] Kentucky Gambler - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)

[00:00:13] I wanted more from life than four kids and a wife

[00:00:18] And a job in a dark Kentucky mine

[00:00:23] A twenty acre farm with a shackey house and barn

[00:00:27] Thats all I had and all I left behind

[00:00:32] But at gambling I was lucky and so I left Kentucky

[00:00:37] And left behind my woman and my kids

[00:00:42] Into the gay casinos and Nevada's town of Reno

[00:00:47] This Kentucky Gambler planned to get rich quick

[00:00:52] Kentucky gambler who's going to love your woman in Kentucky

[00:00:56] Yeah - and who's going to be the one to give her all she needs

[00:01:02] Kentucky gambler who's going to raise your children in Kentucky

[00:01:07] And who's going to keep them fed and keep them shoes on their feet

[00:01:13] There at the gambler's Paradise Lady luck was on my side

[00:01:18] And this Kentucky gambler played just right

[00:01:23] Yeah I won at everything I played - I really thought I had it made

[00:01:28] But I should have quit and gone on home that night

[00:01:32] But when you love the green backed dollar sorrow always bound to follow

[00:01:37] And Reno's dreams fade into neon amber

[00:01:42] And Lady Luck she'll lead you on

[00:01:44] She'll stay a while and then she's gone

[00:01:47] You better go on home Kentucky gambler

[00:01:52] But a gambler never seems to stop till he loses all he's got

[00:01:57] And with a money - hungry fever I played on

[00:02:01] I played till I'd lost all I'd won I was right back where I'd started from

[00:02:06] Then I started wanting - to go home

[00:02:11] Kentucky gambler there ain't nobody waiting in Kentucky

[00:02:16] When I ran out somebody else walked in

[00:02:20] Kentucky gambler looks like you ain't really very lucky

[00:02:25] And it seems to me a gambler loses much more than he wins

[00:02:32] Much more than he wins
