Ray Charles - Blackjack lyrics

Ah let me tell you people

About this blackjack game

It's caused me nothing but trouble

And I've only myself to blame

Hey hey hey yeah

How unlucky can one man be

Well every quarter I get

Lord, blackjack takes it away from me

My friends don't come around me

Because I've been so blind

I can't even borrow a nickle

Now I've almost lost my mind

Hey hey hey yeah

How unlucky can one man be

Well every quarter I get

Lord, blackjack takes it away from me

I sat there with two tens

I thought I'd have some fun

The dealer hit sixteen with a five

Just enough to make twenty one

Hey hey hey yeah yeah

How unlucky can one man be

Well every quarter I get

Yeah, blackjack takes it away from me
