Black Jack Blues Songtext
von Fleetwood Mac

Got in a blackjack game last night
I lost every dime I had
Got in a blackjack game last night
And I lost every dime I had

Well, you know, I was afraid to go home and tell the news
′Cause I knew it would make my wife very mad
I said, I'd better get some money, baby
Before I enter your door

Yes, I know I had better get some money, baby
Before I enter your door
If I don′t, I know my baby is gonna tell me
"Daddy, you don't live at this number no more"


I sat back down to a table
This time, I really played my hands
Yes, I sat back down to a table
And this time, I played my hands
I went five on a dollar
That's the way I can live at home a happy man again

When I sat down to the table
Boys, you know I really played my hand
When I sat back down to the table
Boys, you know I really played my hand
You know I′ll beat all them cats out of five hundred dollar
That′s way I can live at home a happy man again

That's pretty low, Mick
(It was low) (J.T., that′s pretty good) low
It was low
It was low, I made out, I'm making love to you or something
It was too low
You played, you played the question as in maybe we had to go and sleep
