Gambler's Blues
As Recorded By Travis Tritt
(1987 Recording From The 2026 Album Proud Of The Country)
Intro
Verse 1
I've Always Been Intrigued By A Gambler
The Way He Throws His Life Out On The Line
One Day He Might Be A Big High Roller
And The Next Day He Won't Even Have A Dime
Verse 2
I Never Thought Of Myself As A Gambler
Though I've Wagered On Her Lovin' Many Times
And Now I'm Standing Here The Empty Handed Loser
With Just Her Cheating Memory Left Behind
Chorus
So When You Look At Me You're Lookin' At A Gambler
Though I Do Not Bet With Money Like Most Do
Lord, I Bet My Heart Her Love Would Be Faithful
But Lady Luck Has Left Me With The Blues
Instrumental Break
Verse 3
Yeah, She Had Me Believin' That She Loved Me
Even Though We'd Had Rough Times Before
And Now I Sit Alone And Cry For Hours
While She's Out With The Guy She Left Me For
Chorus
So When You Look At Me You're Lookin' At A Gambler
Though I Do Not Bet With Money Like Most Do
Lord, I Bet My Heart Her Love Would Be Faithful
But Lady Luck Has Left Me With The Blues
Oh, Yeah
