The Hollies

The Hollies are an English pop group formed in Manchester in the early 1960s, although the majority of the band members came from towns in East Lancashire. Known for their distinctive vocal harmony style, they became one of the leading British groups of the 1960s and early 1970s. They enjoyed considerable popularity in many countries, although they did not achieve major US chart success until 1966. They had 30 charting singles on the UK Singles Chart, and 21 on the Billboard Hot 100, with songs including, "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", "Carrie Anne", "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" and "The Air That I Breathe". more »

Back street dive down in New Orleans 
Gambler shows his face 
The place was full of jacks and queens 
But I never came up with that bread-winning ace 

Whisky's cheap at twice the price 
When it kills the pain of bad tumbling dice 
The scene's all set for an IOU 
Give it one more spin then that's me I'm through 

The wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette 
I'm takin' a chance and I'm gunnin' for red 
The wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette 
I'm takin' a chance and I'm gunnin' for red 

Lost my shirt headed for the bar 
Gonna drown my sorrows in a whisky jar 
Head hung low because I got beat 
I see a hundred dollar bill layin' at my feet 

The wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette 
I'm takin' a chance and I'm gunnin' for red 
The wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette 
I'm takin' a chance and I'm gunnin' for red 

Headed for the tables I'm wearin' my shades 
Got to find me a lucky green top
Can't be one I've played 
My hands are shakin' don't wanna lose my cool 
Should I keep the big see or gamble like a fool? 

The wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette 
I'm takin' a chance and I'm gunnin' for red 
The wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette 
I'm takin' a chance and I'm gunnin' for red
