Serious

When I look back at my time at the track And I played and I played and I played and I was Shooting the craps at the back of Fat Jack's Come on fade me Jake I'm a Las Vegas dreamer they took to the cleaners A bath what a bath what a bath I'd take A fish on a hook I was rattled and shook 'cause I lost my stake I took that serious All of my life was a laugh and a joke And a drink and a smoke And then I passed out on the floor Again and again and again and again and again I'm a gambling fool with a roll and a cue Wanna play wanna play wanna play with me Put my ass on the line rubbed my nose in the grime And they picked me clean The chance and the game drove Old Silkly insane What a pain what a strain on my brain it was A fish on a hook I was rattled and shook 'cause I lost my stake I took that serious All of my life was a laugh and a joke A drink and a smoke And then I passed out on the floor Again and again and again and again and again Serious it was serious oh so serious Serious it was serious oh so serious All of my life was a laugh and a joke A drink and a smoke And then I passed out on the floor Or a friend Again and again and again and again and again All of my life was a laugh and a joke A drink and a smoke And then I passed out on the floor Or a friend Again and again and again and again and again and again And again and again and again and again and again And again and again
