Stateline Blues

(álbum: Illegal Stills - 1976)

Fancy Dan, gambling man
Top hat of the peanut man
Talk about your pot of gold
With a silver lining

Tumbling dice, hit it twice
Boats and the flushes, they sure look nice
On a pot of gold with a silver lining

State line give you hard times, stay too long
Goodbye, pretty women
I ain't staying on, come on

Get a hunch, bet a bunch
Come to gamble, better pack a lunch
For a pot of gold with a silver lining

Less you bet when you staying in
The more you lose even when you win
On a pot of gold with a silver lining

You don't know when to stop
Lady Luck, she gonna see you're taught
That there ain't no pot of gold and no silver lining

Easy money can make [?]
Come too quick turn a good man bad
For a pot of gold with a silver lining

Gambling man, Fancy Dan
Top hat of the peanut man
Talk about your pot of gold
In the silver lining
