I've been lookin gaunt and I've been lookin old, used to have eyes that were so full of soul

But that woman she's stealing it all from under my nose

Wasting my days and spending my wages on a woman who doesn't know my name

Lady Luck is my mistress and she don't give a damn she'll steal the soul right out of any poor man

I'm a gamblin' man through and through I sold my soul I'm done lying to you, man's only good as his word they say, and I lie to myself just to get through the day

I'm a slave to the cards I'm drowning in debt, one more loan on top of the rest

Another bump and another drink, all just to feel like I'm not stuck with me

My brother he told me that my cause is lost

He doesn't know I'm gonna hit that jack pot in a few days

I'm a gamblin' man through and through I sold my soul I'm done lying to you, man's only good as his word they say, and I lie to myself just to get through the day

Looking worse and older still, this shit don't even give me a thrill

My mistress she still hangs around, it's cause of her I won't leave this town

I'm a beggar but a castles my home, Caesar's palace is where I roam

Lady Luck she is my queen, a sadder life I have never seen

I'm a gamblin' man through and through I sold my soul I'm done lying to you, man's only good as his word they say, and I lie to myself just to get through the day
