Big Jim was a sport-in' in-di-vid-u-al, a reg'-u-lar gamb-lin' man!
And if you played with him, he did you all as on-ly a gamb-ler can.
Cuz Jim he al-ways got the mo-ney on a sys-tem that he played. His ex-pla-na-tion
may be fun-ny, but I'll tell you what he said.
You'll al-ways have the price if you take this ad-vice!
Al-ways go while the go-in' is good,
Don't wait to e-ven say a-doo!
For if you stay there it's on-ly one way, they're bound to put a crimp in you.
That a gamb-lin' gent has a large per-cent is a fact that is un-der stood!
So cash right in just the min-ute you win and go while the go-in' is good!
Big Jim he cher-ished a con-vic-tion, He could beat the mar-ket too!
right here he found it was a fic-tion And his sy-tem would hard-ly do.
He won at first, but when at last he got to gam-blin' might-y bold, They took it
off of him so fast he could feel him-self catch-ing cold...
Al-ways go while the go-in' is good,
Don't wait to e-ven say a-doo!
For if you stay there it's on-ly one way, they're bound to put a crimp in you.
That a gamb-lin' gent has a large per-cent is a fact that is un-der stood!
So cash right in just the min-ute you win and go while the go-in' is good!
