Thread Name: Lyr Req: When the Chips Are Down (Sharpe/Wingfield
Subject: Lyr Req: When the chips are down?
OK, so this isn't a folk song or a tradtional song, but all attempts on Google have failed. A doo wop/rock and roll/blues sort of song I used to have on a tape that I can no longer find.

I can remember this snatch of lyrics:

"I've got eight(?) weeks of unpaid bills
I can't pay 'em now and I know I never will
Maybe good times are coming but I don't hear a sound
Will you still love me when the chips are down?

Each verse ends with "will you still love me when the chips are down?"

The version I had was by one of the regular rock & roll cover bands. Possibly Rocky Sharpe and the Replays; less likely to be Darts.

Can anyone help with the lyrics, or any publication/writer details, or even the proper title, as I think I'd like to sing it.

Thanks
Mike
