Song Lyrics

If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm you're man,
You win some, lose some it's all the same to me,
The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say,
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is,
The ace of spades.

Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all the same to me,
Seven or eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double take or split,
The ace of spades.

You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't want to live forever,
And don't forget the joker!

Pushing up the ante, I know you want to see me,
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,
The ace of spades.

Edward Alan Clarke, Ian Kilmister, Philip John Taylor
