lyrics

I’m gonna take a trip to Silver Springs
I’m gonna put my quarter in a slot machine
When I hit hit that casino gonna make it mine
I’m gonna pull triple seven everytime

Bet you two to one that pretty soon
I’m gonna shine like a diamond by the silvery moon
Cackle to the crackle of a neon sign
Lady luck’s gonna get a big valentine

I’m gonna stumble home with whiskey on my cheek
With a pretty little lady to scratch my head
And one to rock me while I sleep
I got a rabbit’s foot, a lucky penny as well
I got a four leaf clover on my coat lapel

I’m gonna dance the rubber soles right off my shoes
Well I ‘aint no saint but my luck don’t paint
You gotta see my lucky tattoos

Mama send your kids to Sunday school
Tell ‘em not to do the things that I do
‘cause I been riding so long on the gravy train
Good luck’s bound to be my ball and chain

Got ruby studded buckles on my shoes
I get so high and the night time shines
By the light of my golden tooth

Mama send your kids to Sunday school
Tell ‘em not to do the things that I do
‘cause I been riding so long on the gravy train
Good luck’s bound to be my ball and chain
