Blackjack was never my game
I tell you blackjack was never my game
I could skin any sucker at gin
But just the same
Blackjack was never really my game
But good Lord, just gimme the chance to change
I lived in Brooklyn, and it wasn't that bad
I've lived in Brooklyn, and it wasn't all that bad
I couldn't tell you much about Baton Rouge
Or Birmingham
But I tell you Brooklyn really isn't all that bad
But them times in St. Louis was the best I ever had
I never kissed a woman I didn't love
I tell you I never kissed a woman I didn't love
And I've known some women like vultures
And some like doves
But I say I never kissed a woman I didn't love
But I've loved so many women if I only loved one
Blackjack was never my game
I tell you blackjack was never my game
I could skin any sucker at gin
But just the same
Blackjack was never really my game
But good Lord, just gimme the chance to change
