Get out the cards and they wouldn't notch it Get on the horses and they wouldn't knock it I'm not gonna give up, I'm gonna try it again Keep on bettin', someday Brownie's bound to win Life is a gamble People, come rain, come shine But if you keep on betting You're bound to win sometime Take a horse to water but you can't make him drink Take a charge to school but you can't lick a finger You can dig a pit for somebody else You don't want, my friend to fall in that, oh, yourself Life is a gamble People, come rain, come shine But if you keep on tryin' You're bound to win sometime Your woman leaves you, please don't wear no black Two to one, she may come squealing back If outstretched, here's what she may say "Please forgive me, Brownie for walkin' away" Life is a gamble People, come rain, come shine But if you keep on waitin' You're bound, bound to win sometime Rabbit and a turtle had a race one day Rabbit could beat the turtle in any old way The rabbit thought he was so fast He laid down and went to sleep When he woke up that old slow turtle had his deal Life is a gamble People come rain, come shine But if you keep on movin' You're bound to win sometime Sometime, sometime
