Gambler's Guitar - Eddie Cochran

My guitar, my guitar…

Tell of the hearts that this vagabond has broken

Tell of the fun that I’ve had

Tell of the lovin' and the laughin' and the jokin'

Back when I was glad, Lord-Lord, back when I was glad

Tell it pretty, guitar

Tell of the days when the riverboat was turnin'

Lord, what a gambler’s spree

Tell her of the hotty way ol' lady luck was burnin'

Everyone but me, yeah lucky me, everyone but me

Now, guitar

Tell of the time when I took my biggest gamble

In a game where hearts were high

Tell of the funny way my heart began to ramble

When she caught my eye, yeah when she caught my eye

Tell it pretty, guitar

Tell all the folks that this life’s a game of poker

A fool and gold must part

But in this hectic world the biggest fool’s the joker

Who gambles with his heart, Lord-Lord, who gambles with his heart

One last time guitar

And that’s the story of a gambler’s guitar…
