Bet me your last nickel that the neon shines tonight Bet me on a night like this I will treat you right Now, don't tell me your troubles, it just ain't worth the time Come here close beside me, bet me you'll be mine Now, Leroy was a gambler, he sang alto in the choir Took a fall in Acuna Town, set his heart on fire So don't tell me your troubles, it just ain't worth the time Come here close beside me, bet me you'll be mine If you got a nickel or a castle on a hill Couldn't buy no sparrow song or one from a whippoorwill So don't tell me your troubles, just ain't worth the time Come here close beside me, bet me you'll be mine
