The Statler Brothers - Every Time I Trust A Gal lyrics

Every Time I Trust A Gal (Lew DeWitt) He was born on the twelfth of March and the winds did blow Since then ill winds still follow me everywhere I go He's been broke in every state and every major town And every time I trust a gal she lets me down. He sized up a little bank in Logansdale Then I got ta thinkin' and I lost my nerve and threw my gun away They caught him down by the railroad track and run him out of town And every time I trust a gal she lets me down. Every joy I've known has turned to pain If I pick me up they'll come along and knock me down again. He's gambeled away every cent he ever made If I fill my inside straight somebody else is holdin' spades He's been unfit and unqualified for every job he's found And every time I trust a gal she lets me down. Every love I've known has pa**ed me by I'll never learn 'cause I guess I've been pa**ed five thousand times. So he turns to the open road and shrugs his mind With an empty feelin' and a lonely heart without a single dime And we know that's how it'll be till they put him in the ground Yeah, and every time I trust a gal she lets me down Every time I trust a gal she lets me down...
