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



true, huh?
