The Robert Cray Band - Blackjack lyrics

Now let me tell ya', people

'Bout this blackjack game

It cause me so much trouble

I have myself to blame

Hey, how unlucky can one man be?

Well, every dollar I get

You know, blackjack takes it away from me

My friends don't come around me

'Cause I've been so blind

I can't even borrow a nickel

I'm 'bout to lose my mind

Hey, how unlucky can one man be?

Well, every quarter I get

You know blackjack takes it away, away from me

Now hit me, brother Johnny!

(Copeland solo)

Now deal, brother Robert!

(Amazing Young Bob solo!)

Now let me show you my hand

(Collins solo)

I sit down with two tens

I thought I'd have a little fun

The dealer hit 16 with a 5

Just enough to make 21

Hey, how unlucky can one man be?

Well, every dollar I get

You know blackjack takes it away from me

(Collins solo)
