Molly Hatchet - Gambler's Dream Lyrics
On the south side of chicago onA freezin winter nightIn a crowded little bar roomThe men were rollin diceIs winnin by the hundredsJust rakin it inWhen I looked up from the tableBig john lee was walkin in.Well he grabbed a chair beside meSaid son count me inHe looked over at my winninsHe wore an evil grinId heard of hs reputationA fairly dangerous manYea I heard ol big john leeWould pull is gun whenever he can.Chorus:I rolled against john leeHes a helluva manHes hailed from dallas, texasAnd hes known throughout the land.Now the first hour went slowlyYea tension buildin upJohn lee was drinkin jack blackFrom a dixie cupHe was rollin double tooHad me in a tightHere comes johns dice againGood god! its snake eyes.Chorus:I rolled against john leeHes a helluva manHes hailed from dallas, texasAnd hes known throughout the land.Oh, the night was growin colderThe crowd was wearin thinJohn lee put up his savingsThinkin he was gonna winHis hands were startin to trembleMoney gettin lowAint gonna let this georgia farm boyWalk outa here with his dough.Chorus:I rolled against john leeHes a helluva manHes hailed from dallas, texasAnd hes known throughout the land.
