(John Fogerty)

If I was a gambling man,

Never would have let you play your hand
With the broken down cowboy like me
Cos you never can trust your luck

He's bad news in a pickup truck
A broken down cowboy like me


He played every card he's got
Had a good hand but he messed it up
With that bummer down tumbled down hard


Saddled banks for the pain
Carries them around just like her middle name

A losing streak play them or dont



Oh he stang you along sang you a lonesome song



But he wind up alone again

No matter how hard you try

Never gonna let you get inside
That tumbled down broken down hard
It's a tough riding rodeo

Mean hard stewin long time ago
A broken down cowboy like me


But the way I feel about you
Wouldn't want that horse to hurt you to
A broken down cowboy like me





If I was a gambling man,
Never would have let you play that hand
With the broken down cowboy like me
