Put Your Money Down

(álbum: Christie - 1970)

Sit down at the table, if you wanna play
Tell me something, mister, do you know my name?
Didn't anybody tell ya who I am?
I guess you oughta know that I'm a gambling man
I don't care which game you choose
I don't mind 'cause you will lose
But before we start to play
There's one thing I wanna say

Put your money down, boy
Put your money down, boy
If you wanna play with me
You know you gotta lay your money down
Put your money down, boy
Put your money down, boy
If you wanna play with me
You know you gotta put your money down

Mister you look worried, you don't look so well
But you might just be lucky, you can never tell
People call me poker-face and that's my name
Put your money down, we're playing for high stakes
I don't care which game you choose
I don't mind 'cause you will lose
But before we start to play
There's one thing I wanna say

Put your money down, boy
Put your money down, boy
If you wanna play with me
You know you gotta lay your money down
Put your money down, boy
Put your money down, boy
If you wanna play with me
You know you gotta put your money down
