And he'll take you where you stand
 And will you stand your life by his
 And help the boy become a man

 And he'd be the son of his father his father the teacher
 Teaching love and honesty being his own man handler
 For the son of  the son of run of the mill run
 Rotten gambler

 Will the devil be getting to you as you look back
 Over what you've done
 And what you've done was it for reason or rhyme
 Was it just for fun

 And he'd be the son of his father his father the teacher
 Teachin' love and honesty being his own man handler
 For the son of  the son of run of the mill run
 Rotten gambler

 Back on the road now you can lose your head
 There ain't no kingdom for the gambling man
 You know the road now and you've made your stand
 When his eyes shine upon you shine upon you

 And he'd be the son of his father his father the teacher
 Teaching love and honesty being his own man handler
 For the son of  the son of run of the mill run
 Rotten gambler

 Back on the road now you can lose your head
 There ain't no kingdom for the gambling man
 You know the road now and you've made your stand
 When his eyes shine upon you shine upon you

 And he'd be the son of his father his father the teacher
 Teaching love and honesty being his own man handler
 or the son of  the son of run of the mill run
 Rotten gambler
