All the workers in song turn it down
Draggin' chains through the countryside
Tide of color brought on each night
Born to live and never die

(Ah)

Not all I know goes so well
And the gamble's hard, when the gamblin' fails
And all the color won't turn and I
Born to live, live and die

(Ah)

From the time she rose
'Till the time she sets
The old girl knows
And she never forgets
A gamblin' heart
If it bleeds enough
She'll remember me someday

All the workers in song turn it down
Ridin' low, mile after mile
From all the color thrown out each night
Born to live and never die
Born to live and never die

From the time she rose
'Till the time she sets
The old girl knows
She never forgets
A gamblin' heart
If it bleeds enough
She'll remember me someday
