Bet on the Blues


C7 Five hundred'll buy you a stack, F7 Bet it all on the red or the black and you lose. C7 Bet on the blues. They tell me you're a gamblin' man, F7 Try to beat the house if you can and you lose. C7 Bet on the blues. C7 If you're lookin' to get an inside slant, F7 If you're lookin' for something so good you can't refuse, C7 Bet on the blues. Find a man who thinks he's over the hump, F7 And I'm here to tell you he's the kind of a chump you can use. G7 Bet on the blues. C7 Bet on the blues.

Lucky old sun is shinin' today.
Even money says you'll be payin' some dues.
Bet on the blues.
You say you've found your lady fair,
Eight to five she's wearin' her travelin' shoes.
Bet on the blues.

If you're lookin' to get an inside slant,
If you're lookin' for something so good you can't refuse,
Bet on the blues.
Find a man who thinks he's over the hump,
And I'm here to tell you he's the kind of a chump you can use.
Bet on the blues.
Bet on the blues.

Five hundred'll buy you a stack,
Bet it all on the red or the black and you lose.
Bet on the blues.
They tell me you're a gamblin' man,
Try to beat the house if you can and you lose.
Bet on the blues.
Bet on the blues..
Bet on the blues...

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1975)
