I got five cards, not one is an Ace
You're gonna trump me, baby, I can see it on your face
You might have better cards, but darling
You're givin' yourself away
A couple kids in the back shootin' dice
You can't count on nothin' but luck and I
I never had enough to count
So I'm gonna sit playin' poker 'til my money runs out
You can call me lucky
But you never seen the way I took to get here
Look at me losin' again
Now, Big Jim does run this town
He owns this place and a couple around
I never crossed him yet, but you know
Once I came awful close
It was Friday at the table and I drank a few
Bet my Twenty and man, did I lose
I came up short on Jim at the bar
Someone spotted me the money but the payback was hard
You can call me lucky
But you never seen the way I took to get here
Look at me losin' again
You came lookin' for somethin' that you prob'ly didn't find
Spent your money had a pretty good time
Called your shots and rolled the dice
But I bet you don't want to do me right
You can call me lucky
But you never seen the way I took to get here
Look at me losin' again
The boys are all hot on Rose at the bar
She starts fixin' 'em drinks about seven o'clock
Some of 'em come just to sit and watch
She turns and smiles and pours their shots
She's got big holes in the front of her jeans
Her shirt's so tight you can see when she breathes
They say she never kisses a man once she pours him a drink
That's why they talk to me
You can call me lucky
But you never seen the way I took to get here
Look at me losin' again
I'm losin' again
I don't know why I bet
'Cause I'm losin' again
