nothin' to lose
[Woman moaning]  I am a gambler, God knows, I've been around I've lived it up and now I'm livin' it down I've played some hunches, and I've played some blues A man with nothing ain't got nothing to lose  I thought my woman was my ace in the hole But when she left me I was out of control I've just had bad luck since I got the news A man with nothing ain't got nothing to lose  Old lady luck ain't nobody's friend And old dame fortune broke my heart in the end Love was the one thing I tried not to abuse A man with nothing ain't got nothing to lose  I like casinos and I love slot machines I lost a fortune, if you know what I mean Those one armed bandits was the wrong thing to choose A man with nothing ain't got nothing to lose  You wanna help me, do you know where I'm at? Don't try to change me girl, it's too late for that You say "quit gambling" and I'll have to refuse A man with nothing ain't got nothing to lose  I lost it all, I don't have no more to give The doctor tells me I don't have long to live My friends all say they'd hate to be in my shoes A man with nothing ain't got nothing to lose  [Woman moaning]  You say salvation is the one thing I need It's hell or heaven that I'm just a bad seed What makes you think you have the right to accuse A man with nothing ain't got nothing to lose  Nothin' to lose Nothin' to lose Nothin' to lose
