...and another, Bunch!
Diamond Lil by David Bromberg
Go ahead and drink your whiskey Run around and stay high all the time It's your body and your soul You save yours and I'll save mine
A man should never gamble A man should never gamble A man should never gamble More than he can stand to lose More than he can stand to lose More than he can lose
The straight life's just not your life You can make your own rules Shoot the dice and wear a blindfold You're not afraid to look the fool
chorus
Yes I've heard you talk of marriage I've heard you say you'd never stop running 'round I know you don't mind getting high, boy But, good God, coming down
chorus
So sing your song and sip your champagne Dance a dance with Diamond Lil You don't have to pay the piper Just have him put it on your bill
A man should never gamble A man should never gamble A man should never gamble More than he can stand to lose More than he can stand to lose More than he can lose
