Bet on the Blues

Bet on the blues
Find a man who thinks he's over the hump
If you're looking for something so good, you can't refuse
Five hundred will buy you a stack
And I'm here to tell you he's a kind of a chump, you can use

Lucky old sun is shining today

Bet on the blues

Eight to five says she's wearing her traveling shoes
If you're looking for something so good you can't refuse
Bet on the blues, bet on the blues
You tell me you are a gambling man

Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues

Bet on the blues

Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues
If you're looking to get an inside slant
Bet on the blues
Try to beat the house if you can and you lose
You say you found your lady fair

Bet it all on the red or the black and you lose
If you're looking to get an inside slant
Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues

Even money says you'll be paying some dues
Bet on the blues
