Jean Beauvoir - Gamblin' Man lyrics

Standing on the grounds of fitness I cop a score of ninety Talking, talking about intelligence I think I'm high and mighty You see, Friday I took a walk Through the neighborhood 'Cause I got to thinking That some fresh air might do me good Oh but I think that someone Someone dances above me, yeh, yeh Keeps me holding on, holding on, holding on 'Cause I'm a gambling man and I'm sittin' Here tryin' my heart out Yeh, yeh, yeh, well I'm a gambling man And I do what I can A gamblin' man and I'm sitting here Tryin my heart out Yeh, yeh, yeh, well I'm a gambling man And I do what I can I was having a talk with my sister Tired, shortly after the party I said “sis a friend of yours is a friend of mine” Or might be, if you'd only help me get started She told me “see you're a man with no regard If I had my way I'd have you tied up in the yard With Fifi and Cleopatra And your obsession with those dirty jeans” Yeh, yeh, but they keep me Holding on, holding on, holding on 'Cause I'm a gambling man and I'm sittin' Here tryin my heart out Yeh, yeh, yeh, well I'm a gambling man And I do what I can Gamblin man just sitting here Tryin my heart out Instead of taking care of business I'm a gambling man and I do what I can, baby See I don't need a witness 'Cause I'm not denying Instead of taking care of business My mind is out there flying I'm livin' for the good times yeh, yeh I'm just holding on, holding on, holding on Gamblin' man and I'm sittin' here tryin' my heart out Doing the best I can Gamblin' man just sittin' here tryin' my heart out Instead of taking care of business Gambling man just sittin' here tryin' my heart out
