I've always been a hard luck gambler
Lost my money down in San Francisco
Finally made my way back to Tennessee
That's where I begged a little lady
Listen true but then she had to tell me
Bad guarantee make me out a man, feel it
Take me down and told me with a smile
We've been wrong, this eagle's sold out
Plan fifty fifty, she showed me how to love
Say the words now
A sweet daughter of a rambling preacher
I'll be the gun, she will be the teacher
I can't always fight, an arrival that beachhead line
How did it feel? Who you deserve
Put the lead in, I'm doing it for
For feeling that loving fire, hey, I don't know
Drown me, drown me in the river
Let me be the taker, her be the giver
Just one time, one time, got to get a taste of heaven
Drown me, mister piglet man
Given up the life for a one night stand
The lady, you're going to do it all over again
Little lady really kept the deal
Put a gun that she steals
Paid a lot of money, lord, in a very short while
She said I think we better split now
Love's coming, a face of money
And you sure know have to love Saint Louis style
Well, you can drown me, drown me in the river
Let me be the taker, her be the giver
Just one time, one time, got to get a taste of heaven
Drown me, mister piglet man
Given up the life for a one night stand
The lady, you're going to do it all over again
