Tampa Red - Keep On Dealin'

When you start to gamblin'
You must expect to lose
So don't come runnin'
Wailing the gambler's blues

Just play your hand
Keep on dealing
You'll be lucky on down the line

Bad luck and trouble
Run hand in hand
You women don't have it
Until you lose your man

But play your hand
Keep on dealing
You'll be lucky on down the line

Man if your woman quits you
And go away
Just keep on hoping
She'll come back some day

And play your hand
Keep on dealing
You'll be lucky on down the line
Play that thing boy
Play it for me

Good luck and a fortune
Bound to come your way
Don't get discouraged
And throw your cards away

But play your hand
Keep on dealing
You'll be lucky on down the line

Don't let your trouble
Last you too long
If you can't whistle
Just sing my song

And play your hand
Keep on dealing
You'll be lucky on down the line

You folks remember
For goodness sake
Good things they only
Come to those who wait
And play your hand
Keep on dealing
You'll be lucky on down the line
