Follow the Deal on Down Lyrics & Tabs by Bessie Smith
Follow the Deal on Down
guitar chords lyrics
Stop rollin' them bones & listen to me;
I had a gamblin' man
he's hard to understand
he just give me worries and goin' around
he was scheming to his dice
couldn't give him no advice
he followed the deal on down
he was a gambler
i mean he was a gambler
and he'd always lay his money down
if he win or if he lose
he would never sing the blues
he followed the deal on down
he took sick the other day
and his bills i had to pay
he followed the deal on down
he took sick the other day
and his bills i had to pay
none of his good friends could be found
not a penny to his name
of course he's not to blame
lord, he followed the deal on down
he was a gambler
yes he was a gambler
and he would always go from town to town
gamblin' life he'd crave
it lays a poor boy in his grave
he followed the deal on down
