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
