Gambling Polka Dot Blues Lyrics

I thought I was a gambler Broke ev'ry shark in town Until I met a rounder Who called all I put down We laid the cards on the table He drew an ace high hand He bet his watch and I called it And lost my money like a man (Chorus) I've got them polka dot blues, oh, them polka dot blues Lost my hat and my coat and my straight-laced shoes Sold my watch and went back to lose The mean old gambling polka dot blues Now my gal had plenty, so I got twenty Then went back and sat down I got a four but thought it was more As we dealt the acrds around I sat the deck on the table Bet him all I could stand I turned it over a measly four He had another ace high hand (Repeat chorus)
