From the recording Double Down Junior
Lyrics
Some mens work hard all their life
Get dealt nothin’ but grief and pain
Other mens have good luck fall on ‘em
Like springtime Georgia rain
Once, I had me some fame and fortune
But I let it all slip away
Busted out on a good hand
And it dogs me to this day
When you see that hole card comin’
Lord, you better double down
You better double down, Junior, if you can
Everywhere I went it was high times
I was livin’ big all over town
Whiskey and women come callin’
I kept spreadin’ that money ‘round
I was bettin’ on one last diamond
Got hit blind with a no good spade
All I could hear was my so called friends
Talkin’ ‘bout what a mess I’d made
When you see that hole card comin’
Lord, you better double down
You better double down, Junior, if you can
