Las Vegas Blues

Mama say "Stay away from Las Vegas"

Mama say "Run from Reno too"

They call it fun in the sun

But I'm tellin' you, hun

The snake-eyes are bound to get you

Mama say "Them sevens look easy"

Mama say "Them 'levens do too"

Though you come as you are

And you play with the stars

The boxcars are bound to get you

So out of my nest, I headed west

Man, a pigeon's just gotta fly

Gave the wheel a spin, doubled my win

Ooops, a sad one was I

Mama say "Run away from Las Vegas"

Mama mine, I hear you talkin'

But how can I smile at these hot desert miles

When, man, I ain't a ridin', I'm a walkin'

Mmmm, I'm a walkin' (I'm a walkin')

Just a happy lad, I was never bad

Though it's sad to relate (to relate)

Wine, women and song

I'd never go wrong

My weakness was hard-way eight

Mama say "Come 'way from Las Vegas"

Mama mine, I hear you talkin'

But how can I smile at these hot desert miles

When, man, I ain't a ridin', I'm walkin' (walkin')

(Mmmmm) Got those Las Vegas Blues

Got those Las Vegas Blues (yeah)
