Stateline Blues lyrics
by Stephen Stills
Fancy Dan, gamblin' man
Top hat of the peanut man
Talk about your pot of gold
With a silver lining
Tumblin' dice, hit it twice
The boats and the flushes they sure look nice
On a pot of gold
With a silver lining
Stateline, give you a hard time
Don't you stay too long
Goodbye, pretty women I ain't stayin' on
Come on and...
Get a bunch, bet a bunch
If you come to gamble, better pack a lunch
For a pot of gold
With a silver lining
The less you bet, stayin' in
The more you lose even when you win
On a pot of gold
With a silver lining
If you don't know when to stop
Lady Luck she gonna see you're taught
That there ain't no pot of gold
And no silver lining
