[03:18.00]Follow The Deal On Down - Bessie Smith
[03:18.00]I had a gamblin' man
[03:18.00]He's hard to understand
[03:18.00]He just give me worries and goin' around
[03:18.00]He was scheming to his dice
[03:18.00]Couldn't give him no advice
[03:18.00]He followed the deal on down
[03:18.00]He was a gambler
[03:18.00]I mean he was a gambler
[03:18.00]And he'd always lay his money down
[03:18.00]If he win or if he lose
[03:18.00]He would never sing the blues
[03:18.00]He followed the deal on down
[03:18.00]He took sick the other day
[03:18.00]And his bills i had to pay
[03:18.00]None of his good friends could be found
[03:18.00]Not a penny to his name
[03:18.00]Of course he's not to blame
[03:18.00]Lord he followed the deal on down
[03:18.00]He was a gambler
[03:18.00]Yes he was a gambler
[03:18.00]And he would always go from town to town
[03:18.00]Gamblin' life he'd crave
[03:18.00]It lays a poor boy in his grave
[03:18.00]He followed the deal on down
