Your daddy was a gambling man my mother said to me He left me when you were a child but he was all this world to me I know your daddy loved me too from tattoo on his arms Was a heart of love that bored my name and was his good luck charm I didn't heed my mother's words to leave the cards alone I took to gambling just like dad and left my mother's home One night the gang was gathered round we delt the hand of draw An old man sat across from me and this is what I saw From out his sleeve he pulled the card and I pulled out my gun I shot him dead not knowing then what evil I had done He fell across the table his hands reached out in vain His sleeve slipped back and upon his arm I could see so plain I gazed down at his lifeless arm and I hung my head in shame For upon his arm was tattooed heart and I saw my mother's name
