about

Recorded live at Cedar Creek Studio

lyrics

How many times has he told you
his gambling days are through?
I bet its more than two
all the ponies he’s been playing
and the biggest one Is you
and he knows your jockey too

and First Call’s blaring on the bugles again
he’s clutching his bet slip and hoping its payin’

when was the last time you believed a word he said
‘cause you know he’s full of shit

I bet it wasn’t yesterday, when he went to the track again
and came home smelling like gin

And First Call’s blaring on the bugle again
he’s clutching his bet slip, and hoping its payin’

there’s mercy for sinners and then there’s folks like him
that sin over and over again
he lives and breathes to gamble, his booky’s his only friend
and he owes him ten grand

and First Call’s blaring on the bugle again
he’s clutching his bet slip, and hoping its payin’
and First Call’s blaring on the bugle again
