Hank Snow Gambling Polka Dot Blues lyrics

Written by Jimmie Rodgers - R.E. Hall
Recorded by Hank Snow
I thought I was a gambler broke every shark in town
Until I met a rounder who called all I put down
We laid the cards on the table he drew an ace high hand
He bet his watch and I called it and lost my money like a man
I've got them polka dot blues oh them polka dot blues
Lost my hat and my coat and my straight lace shoes
Now my gal had plenty so I got twenty then went back and sat down
I got a four but I thought it was more as we dealt the cards around
I set the deck on the table and bet him all I could stand
I turned over a measly four he had another ace high hand
I've got them polka dot blues...
