Gamblin' Man (Ver 2.0)

Major Jack McDee, was a gamblin' man
And he played his games, all across this land
From Kansas City, to Tennessee state
It's how he made his money, and he played it straight
Draw the King of Clubs, or the Four of Spades
Jack's thirst for gamblin', would never fade
He'd play each man, he knew the game
It wasn't the cards, that brought him fame

He ain’t a drinkin' man! 'Cause he's gamblin' now!
He ain’t a fightin' man! But he'll put you down!
He ain’t a lovin' man! But he loves this town!
So don't cheat him now! Cause he'll shoot you down!

Now Billy Swan, he was a cheatin' man
And he took our town, and he took our land
He bought the law, with threats and smears
Laid waste to every man, who said, “I don't fear!”
Six guns would sound, and he'd make that kill 
Bury them six foot, up on old boot hill
So we hoped and prayed, we'd all be free
Then into town, rode Jack McDee

He ain’t a drinkin' man! 'Cause he's gamblin' now!
He ain’t a fightin' man! But he'll put you down!
He ain’t a lovin' man! But he loves this town!
So don't cheat him now! Cause he'll shoot you down!

Jack was a local boy, he came from hereabouts
Troubled by news of Swan, and his band of louts 
With a game of poker, Jack set the stage
To catch Billy Swan, at his cheatin' ways
It was plain to see, so he called him out 
Billy stood in protest, pulled his gun with a shout
Swan had the draw, thought he had him read
But Jack was quicker, and shot him dead

He ain’t a drinkin' man! 'Cause he's gamblin' now!
He ain’t a fightin' man! But he'll put you down!
He ain’t a lovin' man! But he loves this town!
So don't cheat him now! Cause he'll shoot you down!
So don't cheat him now! Cause he'll shoot you down!
He's a gamblin' man! And he'll shoot you now!
