Diamond Lil

Go ahead, and drink your whiskey
Run around, and stay high all the time
It’s your body, and your soul
You save yours
And I’ll save mine

A man should never gamble
A man should never gamble
A man should never gamble
More than he can bear to lose
More than he can stand to lose
More than he has to lose

=== piano solo Dan Walker ===

Yeah, I know the straight life’s just not your life
You can make your own rules
Shoot the dice, and wear a blindfold
If you’re not afraid
To look the fool

A man should never gamble
A man should never gamble
A man should never gamble
More than he can stand to lose
More than he’s got to lose
More than he can afford to lose

=== guitar duet Mark Cosgrove and David Bromberg ===

Yeah, I’ve heard all your talk of marriage
But you’ll never stop your runnin’ ‘round
You don’t mind gettin’ high, boy
But, good God, the comin’ down

A man should never gamble
A man should never gamble
A man should never gamble
More than he has to lose
More than he’s got to lose
More than he can bear to lose

=== fiddle/bass duet Nate Grower and Suavek Zaniesienko ===

So, sing your song, and sip your champagne
Dance your dance with Diamond Lil
You don’t have to pay the piper
He’ll just add it to your bill

A man should never gamble
A man should never gamble
A man should never gamble
More than he can bear to lose
More than he can stand to lose
More than he has to lose

Shoot the dice
