Roll On Down The Road
(专辑: A Man Must Carry On - 1977)
Yeah, I
say rolling wheels and blackjack deals Are all the
same to me Yeah, traded away everything I
made And headed out to Santa Fe Laid my money down, the
filly came around She's six lengths in the
lead Yeah, grabbed that money and 1
kissed my honey And we headed down to New Orleans Won't you roll on down the
road just let it roll Won't you roll on down the
road, let it roll Hell, I've never stopped to ask myself If the
getting's worth the
goal Guess I
gotta gambler guess I
gotta rambler Lord, I
gotta gypsy soul Yeah well, I
gave thanks as they lowered the
planks On the
decks of the
Delta Queen And I
got in a
game with a
man named James And I
figured I'd pick him clean When the
bet went down and the
deal came around Worst deal I'd ever seen I
always thought my ace in the
hole Must've been in Tennessee Well, I
always know'd my ace in the
hole Must've been in music row They tell me, boys, gonna make a
name That's the
only place to go If you don't mind, I'm unkind Wanna do things my own way Yeah, you gamble and you lose, sing a
three chord blues Hell, it's all the
same
