Songs about Gambling. Post them here. - Democratic Underground

"You know I'm going to lose

And gambling's for fools.

But that's the way I like it, baby.

I don't want to live forever."

14. Jim Oertling -- Louisian Gambler

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va2SUHxA5PU

Not a good a tune as "Ol' Moss Back". Jim was one of the few guys around who could sing as good as Elvis.

Marvin was a Native American rockabilly artist. He and Link Wray are some of the few Native Americans in early rock n' roll.
