Gambling Blues by Taste (Rory Gallagher Live At The Isle Of Wight)

The tone from that Tele and his AC30. Incredible. This man was and remains a master musician. One of the greatest electric slide players of his generation. Others dabbled, but Rory mastered this corner of the blues.

None like him since. He left us too soon. Greatest bluesman ever to grace our planet. RIP, Rory. You are still missed by many of your fans worldwide.

Lyrics:
I once was a gambler
I bet my money wrong
I once was a gamble
I bet my money wrong
Look for my baby
Mess up my happy home

Look for my money
Look for my watch and chain
Look for my money
You know she pawned my watch and chain
Told the DA
Even your name

I’m through with gambling
Some other fool can have my room
I’m through with gambling
Some other fool can have my room
Might die of whisky
But gambling sure won’t be my doom
