Lyrics for Blackjack

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 now 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
