Gambler`s Dream — текст песни (molly hatchet)

On the south side of Chicago on
A freezin` winter night
In a crowded little bar room
The men were rollin` dice
I`s winnin` by the hundreds
Just rakin` it in
When I looked up from the table
Big John Lee was walkin` in.

Well he grabbed a chair beside me
Said "son count me in"
He looked over at my winnin`s
He wore an evil grin
I`d heard of hs reputation
A fairly dangerous man
Yea I heard ol` Big John Lee
Would pull is gun whenever he can.

Chorus:
I rolled against John Lee
He`s a helluva man
He`s hailed from Dallas, Texas
And he`s known throughout the land.
Now the first hour went slowly
Yea tension buildin` up
John Lee was drinkin` Jack Black
From a Dixie cup
He was rollin` double too
Had me in a tight
Here comes John`s dice again
Good God! It`s snake eyes.

Chorus:
I rolled against John Lee
He`s a helluva man
He`s hailed from Dallas, Texas
And he`s known throughout the land.
Oh, the night was growin` colder
The crowd was wearin` thin
John Lee put up his savings
Thinkin` he was gonna win
His hands were startin` to tremble
Money gettin` low
Ain`t gonna let this Georgia farm boy
Walk outa here with his dough.

Chorus:
I rolled against John Lee
He`s a helluva man
He`s hailed from Dallas, Texas
And he`s known throughout the land.
