Lyrics
Lord when will i ever learn, and when i m down to my last dime
And don t play another hand, a long-legged railbird at my side John, left me shaken but not stirred
i rolled dice with the devil
Been double-crossed in new orleans, set em up and i ll let it ride, a long-legged railbird at my side
set em up boy
I doubled down in monte carlo, i doubled down in monte carlo Set, i ll settle up with the devil
Well i ve gambled on the river, and when i m down to my last dime Em, yes when i m down to my last dime
set em up boy
But she can only stay a while, set em up and let it ride
and don t play another hand
Set em up and i ll let it ride, yes when i m down to my last dime
with a teardrop in her eye
But she can only stay a while, and we ll play another round, a time or two it s left me dry
and we ll play another round
i rode the ponies in kentucky
Well i ve gambled on the river, i doubled down in monte carlo
but she can only stay a while
With nobody at my side, better get out while you can Up, with a teardrop in her eye
The roughest ride they ve ever seen, played him for a fool last night, i got busted down on fifth street
Set em up and i let it ride, i bet the limit down in reno
and my conscience is tellin me boy
But before i lay this body down, and don t play another hand, a time or two it s left me dry
yes when i m down to my last dime
And i ve left many a woman, and lady luck woke up beside me
I ll settle up with the devil, stared down the snake-eyes of sin city
And i ve left many a woman, set em up and i ll let it ride, set em up and i ll let it ride
i doubled down in monte carlo
I ll settle up with the devil, and we ll play another round Set, stared down the snake-eyes of sin city
yes when i m down to my last dime
been double-crossed in new orleans
Set em up and let it ride, i rode the ponies in kentucky Em, cash in your chips
With nobody at my side, i bet the limit down in reno, a time or two it s left me dry
Set em up boy, a time or two it s left me dry
A time or two it s left me dry, and don t play another hand Em, and when i m down to my last dime
I rode the ponies in kentucky, and my conscience is tellin me boy John, i got busted down on fifth street
Left me shaken but not stirred, and don t play another hand Em, set em up boy
played him for a fool last night
And when i m down to my last dime, and my conscience is tellin me boy
With a teardrop in her eye, a long-legged railbird at my side
well i ve gambled on the river
and i ve left many a woman
i got busted down on fifth street
and i ve left many a woman
Set em up and let it ride, set em up and let it ride, lord when will i ever learn
Better get out while you can, yes when i m down to my last dime
Set em up and let it ride, i ll settle up with the devil
With nobody at my side, i ll settle up with the devil Landry, with nobody at my side
Stared down the snake-eyes of sin city, and my conscience is tellin me boy
Played him for a fool last night, the roughest ride they ve ever seen
And when i m down to my last dime, set em up and i let it ride
set em up boy
set em up and let it ride
But before i lay this body down, been double-crossed in new orleans
set em up and i ll let it ride
Well i ve gambled on the river, and my conscience is tellin me boy
Set em up and let it ride, been double-crossed in new orleans John, i laid it all down in atlanta
