Walk On Hot Coals

Well I lost my shirt at a card game in which I never had a chance Well I lost my shirt at a card game in which I never had a chance The deck was marked, the game was rigged, You could not tell at a glance. Well, Lost my job on the weekend and I was back out on the street Well, I lost my job on the weekend and I was back out on the streets No way to get a dollar, but I spent it at the roulette wheel Well I walk on hot coals, sleep on a bed of nails Walk on thin ice, skate on razor blades Got my little girl beside me no matter what else fails. Well I spent it all down at the race track All the way my horsre led the field Well I spent it all down at the race track All the way my horse led the field But it was a hoax, the mare was doped, A length to win she fell down on her knees Gonna throw away my lucky penny, rabbit's foot and gypsy ring Gonna throw away my lucky penny, rabbit's foot and gypsy ring Not gonna gamble on my baby, On this loosing streak I might not win Well I walk on hot coals, sleep on a bed of nails Walk on thin ice, skate on razor blades Got my little girl beside me no matter what else fails Well I walk on hot coals, sleep on a bed of nails Walk on thin ice, skate on razor blades Got my little girl beside me no matter what else fails
