Kentucky Gambler - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)[00:00:00]

I wanted more from life than four kids and a wife[00:00:13]

And a job in a dark Kentucky mine [00:00:18]

A twenty acre farm with a shackey house and barn[00:00:23]

Thats all I had and all I left behind[00:00:27]

But at gambling I was lucky and so I left Kentucky[00:00:32]

And left behind my woman and my kids[00:00:37]

Into the gay casinos and Nevada's town of Reno[00:00:42]

This Kentucky Gambler planned to get rich quick[00:00:47]

Kentucky gambler who's going to love your woman in Kentucky[00:00:52]

Yeah - and who's going to be the one to give her all she needs[00:00:56]

Kentucky gambler who's going to raise your children in Kentucky[00:01:02]

And who's going to keep them fed and keep them shoes on their feet[00:01:07]

There at the gambler's Paradise Lady luck was on my side[00:01:13]

And this Kentucky gambler played just right[00:01:18]

Yeah I won at everything I played - I really thought I had it made[00:01:23]

But I should have quit and gone on home that night[00:01:28]

But when you love the green backed dollar sorrow always bound to follow[00:01:32]

And Reno's dreams fade into neon amber[00:01:37]

And Lady Luck she'll lead you on[00:01:42]

She'll stay a while and then she's gone[00:01:44]

You better go on home Kentucky gambler[00:01:47]

But a gambler never seems to stop till he loses all he's got[00:01:52]

And with a money - hungry fever I played on[00:01:57]

I played till I'd lost all I'd won I was right back where I'd started from[00:02:01]

Then I started wanting - to go home[00:02:06]

Kentucky gambler there ain't nobody waiting in Kentucky[00:02:11]

When I ran out somebody else walked in[00:02:16]

Kentucky gambler looks like you ain't really very lucky[00:02:20]

And it seems to me a gambler loses much more than he wins[00:02:25]

Much more than he wins[00:02:32]
