Bet Me
JOE ELY
Bet me your last nickel that the neon shines tonight
Bet me on a night like this I will treat you right
Now, don't tell me your troubles, it just ain't worth the time
Come here close beside me, bet me you'll be mine
Now, Leroy was a gambler, he sang alto in the choir
Took a fall in Acuna Town, set his heart on fire
So don't tell me your troubles, it just ain't worth the time
Come here close beside me, bet me you'll be mine
If you got a nickel or a castle on a hill
Couldn't buy no sparrow song or one from a whippoorwill
So don't tell me your troubles, just ain't worth the time
Come here close beside me, bet me you'll be mine
