<CENTER>MAVERICK</CENTER><CENTER> </CENTER><CENTER>Who is the tall, dark stranger there?
Maverick is the name.
Ridin' the trail to who knows where,
Luck is his companion,
Gamblin' is his game.
Smooth as the handle on a gun.
Maverick is the name.
Wild as the wind in Oregon,
Blowin' up a canyon,
Easier to tame.
Riverboat, ring your bell,
Fare thee well, Annabel.
Luck is the lady that he loves the best.
Natchez to New Orleans
Livin on jacks and queens
Maverick is a legend of the west.
Riverboat, ring your bell,
Fare thee well, Annabel.
Luck is the lady that he loves the best.

Go Down Gambling - Blood Sweat & Tears
Born a natural loser -- can't recall just where
Raised on brew and poker and a dollar here and there
Blackjack hand, dealer man, you better pay off that last bet
Two-bit hand, a 21 is all I ever get
Go down gamblin', say it when you're runnin' low
Go down gamblin' -- you may never have to go
Down in a crap game, I've been losin' at roulette
Cards are bound to break me, but I ain't busted yet
'Cause I've been called a natural lover by that lady over there
Honey, I'm just a natural gambler but I try to do my share
Born a natural loser -- can't recall just where
Raised on brew and poker and a dollar here and there
Blackjack hand, dealer man, you better pay off that last bet
Two-bit hand, a 21 is all I ever get
Go down gamblin', say it when you're runnin' low
Go down gamblin' -- you may never have to go
Down in a crap game, I've been losin' at roulette
Cards are bound to break me, but I ain't busted yet
'Cause I've been called a natural lover by that lady over there
Honey, I'm just a natural gambler but I try to do my share
Not totally a Gambling Song, BUT his Father was a Gambler...

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man,
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can.
And when it's time for leavin',
I hope you'll understand,
That I was born a ramblin' man.
(chorus)
<b>Well my father was a gambler down in Georgia,</b>
He wound up on the wrong end of a gun.
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
Rollin' down highway 41.
Chorus
I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin',
Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee,
They're always having a good time down on the bayou,
Lord, them Delta women think the world of me.

One of my favorite songs - the music is as good as the lyrics
Grateful Dead
"Loser"
If I had a gun for every ace I have drawn,
I could arm a town the size of Abilene
Don't you push me baby,
Cause I'm all alone and you know I'm only in it for the gold
All that I am asking for is ten gold dollars
And I could pay you back with one good hand
You can look around about the wide world over
And you'll never find another honest man.
Last fair deal in the country,
Sweet Suzie, last fair deal in the town
Put your gold money where your love is baby,
Before you let my deal go down
Don't you push me baby, cause I'm all alone
Well I know a little something you won't ever know
Don't you touch hard liquor, just a cup of cold coffee
I'm gonna get up in the morning and go
Everybody prayin' and drinkin' that wine
I can tell the Queen of Diamonds by the way she shines
Come to daddy on the inside straight,
Well I got no chance of losin' this time
Last fair deal in the country,
Last fair deal in the town
Put your gold money where your love is baby,
Before you let my deal go down
Everybody prayin' and drinkin' that wine
I can tell the Queen of Diamonds by the way she shines
Come to daddy on the inside straight,
Well I got no chance of losin' this time.

My favorite is "That was a Crazy Game of Poker" by O.A.R.
Ohh myyyy
20 throw down in my best bridge
and the man to my left has folded down
well johnny doubled up with a royal flush
i had three jacks and a pair of nines
my mind is turning - just two shots more
there's not much left to play
well then dude walks in, black hat on top
what am i, if i'm lucky
wasn't a county cop
cause i'm just runnin out of time
Who's up for game two
what to do
my wallet's gettin thin
and i just lost my watch last night
well i gotta problem
just one answer
gotta throw it all down
and kiss it goodbye
Yeah!
That was a crazy game of poker
(That was a crazy game of poker)
I lost it all
(I lost it all)
but someday i'll be back again
And I, never to fold.
(never to fold)
AND MUCH MORE: LONG SONG BUT WORTH IT! tulsa

Just saw Kenny Rogers at Primm Valley where He was performing at Buffalo Bills Casino. Overall it was OK but not great IMO. His voice is not great and I really hate it when a singer doesn't sing the songs in the manner that made them big hits. Kenny Rogers was guilty of that on Sunday night.perry519 said:

So, you know the song? - something about it. it is what made me a Dead fan many years ago. How many times have you said to yourself "Come to Daddy on the inside straight" while waiting on the turn or river !
One of my faves: "Tumblin' Dice" by the Stones:
Women think I'm tasty, but they're always tryin' to waste me
And make me burn the candle right down,
But baby, baby, I don't need no jewels in my crown.
'Cause all you women is low down gamblers,
Cheatin' like I don't know how,
But baby, baby, there's fever in the funk house now.
This low down bitchin' got my poor feet a itchin',
You know you know the duece is still wild.
Baby, I can't stay, you got to roll me
And call me the tumblin' dice.
Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry,
Don't you see the time flashin' by.
Honey, got no money, I'm all sixes and sevens and nines.
Say now, baby, I'm the rank outsider,
You can be my partner in crime. But baby, I can't stay,
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin',
Roll me and call me the tumblin' dice.
Oh, my, my, my, I'm the lone crap shooter,
Playin' the field ev'ry night. Baby, can't stay,
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin' (dice),
Roll me and call me the tumblin' (Got to roll me.) dice.
Got to roll me. Got to roll me.
Women think I'm tasty, but they're always tryin' to waste me
And make me burn the candle right down,
But baby, baby, I don't need no jewels in my crown.

But baby, baby, there's fever in the funk house now.

Got to roll me. Got to roll me.

Wasn't Grits- It was a Toothbrush comment when The General was talking about moving.
Love The Dead! I only got to see them 6 times, but eveyone was awesome!
One mans Grits is another mans Polenta.
