Put your money on the table
This game I’m playing for keeps
Misery, Trouble, and Heartache, my friend
It’s gambling time again

She left without any warning
Did not come back this way
Misery, Trouble, and Heartache, my friend
It’s gambling time again

Tell me, tell me oh father
Where on earth have you gone?
Misery, Trouble, and Heartache, my friend
It’s gambling time again

These days was made for driftin'
Ain't here for long anyway
Misery, Trouble, and Heartache, my friend
It’s gambling time again

Acres and acres of diamonds
Never could shine bright as you
Misery, Trouble, and Heartache, my friend
It’s gambling time again

Misery, Trouble, and Heartache, my friend
It’s gambling time again
It’s gambling time again
It’s gambling time again
