Stephen Stills - Stateline Blues lyrics

Fancy Dan, gamblin' man

Top hat of the peanut man

Talk about your pot of gold

With a silver lining

Tumblin' dice, hit it twice

The boats and the flushes they sure look nice

On a pot of gold

With a silver lining

Stateline, give you a hard time

Don't you stay too long

Goodbye, pretty women I ain't stayin' on

Come on and...

Get a bunch, bet a bunch

If you come to gamble, better pack a lunch

For a pot of gold

With a silver lining.

The less you bet, stayin' in

The more you lose even when you win

On a pot of gold

With a silver lining

If you don't know when to stop

Lady Luck she gonna see you're taught

That there ain't no pot of gold

And no silver lining

Easy money, come too fast

Come too quick turn a good man bad

On a pot of gold

With a silver lining.
