Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Norman the gambler
Rides around in a rambler
Diamonds and pearls in the back
[Verse 2]
Occupation house master
He lives of the less
Running from the East to the West
[Verse 3]
Oh, let me tell you more
Norman never lose, always wins
Yet Norman never give away a bit
If you ask for a less
He said he wants more
[Verse 4]
Norman the gambler
Rides around in a rambler
With pretty girls in the back
[Verse 5]
He always set the pack
Norman always jumps a jack
Every hand that he shows
Is a flush or a straight
[Verse 6]
Let me tell you more
Norman never lose, always wins
Yet Norman never give away a bit
If you ask him for less
He said he wants more
[Verse 7]
He always sets the pack
Norman always jumps the jack
Yeah
[Verse 8]
Norman the gambler
Rides around in a rambler
With pretty girls in the back
[Verse 9]
Occupation, house master
He lives off the less
If you ask him for a less
He said he wants more
[Verse 10]
But let me tell you so
Norman never lose, always wins
Yet Norman never give away a bit
If you ask him for a less
He said he wants more
[Verse 11]
Let me tell you so
He always sets the pack
Norman always jumps the jack
And every hand that he show
Is a flush or straight
[Verse 12]
Ah, do you hear?
Norman the gambler
Rides around in a rambler
Diamonds and pearls in the back
[Verse 13]
Occupation, house master
He lives off the less
Running from the East to the West
[Verse 14]
Ah, let me tell you so
Norman never lose, always wins
Yet Norman never give away a bit
And if you ask him for less
He said he wants more, more, more
[Verse 15]
Ah do you hear?
He always sets the pack
Norman always jumps a jack
And every hand that he show
Is a flush or straight
[Verse 16]
Enjoy your trees, jumping jack
