Russian Roulette — текст песни (Hollies)

(clarke / sylvester / hicks)

Back street dive down in new orleans

Gambler shows his face

The place was full of jacks and queens

But I never came up with that bread-winning ace



Whiskys cheap at twice the price

When it kills the pain of bad tumbling dice

The scenes all set for an iou

Give it one more spin then thats me Im through



The wheels like a chamber in russian roulette

Im takin a chance and Im gunnin for red

The wheels like a chamber in russian roulette

Im takin a chance and Im gunnin for red



Lost my shirt headed for the bar

Gonna drown my sorrows in a whisky jar

Head hung low because I got beat

I see a hundred dollar bill layin at my feet



Chorus



Headed for the tables Im wearin my shades

Got to find me a lucky green top,

Cant be one Ive played

My hands are shakin dont wanna lose my cool

Should I keep the big c or gamble like a fool?



Chorus
