[lyrics]
Been a gambler all my life, an honest dollar I despise
Jumping steamers is all I’ve known from New Orleans up to Ohio
They say that I’m as lucky as sin, but I don’t need luck I cheat to win
And don’t get angry, just let me be, this colt revolver takes care of me.
And if you’re headed home you better leave me alone leave alone.
Think of your family before you these play games with your money and with me cause

Chorus:
I will leave you high and dry when the morning light reveals my true disguise.
Maybe then you’ll finally see the mistake you made by messing round with me. You’ll see

Now you may wonder how I came to run this river to play this game.
I met a man once so dark and tall from a town in Arkansas
He talked so sweetly, and looked the part, then stole my money and my heart
So I’ve been riding this river flat, I’ll find him soon and steal it back.
And if you see him now, you better hope that I’m not hanging round
Don’t try to reform me, this is the life I chose and these bullets sure are cheap.

Chorus:
I will leave you high and dry when the morning light reveals my true disguise.
Maybe then you’ll finally know the truth in all the stories you been told. Been told

So if you gamble, best beware. The cards are marked and life ain’t fair.
I know that love’s just another game the odds are long. they never change.
But if you think you’ll be lucky, you better cheat better than me.
Cause I don’t lose and that’s a fact. I’m gonna win so bet on that.
And I won’t settle down, when the morning comes I’ll be skipping town.
Don’t take it personal, I’ve got cheating heart and a gambling soul

Chorus:
I will leave you high and dry when the morning light reveals my true disguise.
Maybe then you’ll finally be a wiser man in the grander scheme of things.
And I will leave you high and dry. It’s the only truth involving you and I.
I’m sorry now for the sins I’ll do, but I’ve warned you once and the burden lies with you
