Lyrics Mama Couldn't Be Pursuaded - Warren Zevon
Gambler
ambled
down
a
country
lane
Looking
for
a
game
of
chance
She
was
twenty-one
or
two
And
she
knew
what
she
wanted
And
she
wanted
that
gamblin'
man
Her
parents
warned
her
Tried
to
reason
with
her
She
was
determined
that
she
wanted
Bill
They'd
all
be
offended
at
the
mention
still
If
they
heard
this
song,
which
I
doubt
they
will
And
my
mama
couldn't
be
persuaded
When
they
pleaded
with
their
daughter
Don't
marry
that
gamblin'
man
Mama
couldn't
be
persuaded
When
they
pleaded
with
their
daughter
Don't
marry
that
gamblin'
man
Mama
couldn't
be
persuaded
When
they
pleaded
with
her
No,
no
nevertheless
I
said
my
mama
couldn't
be
persuaded
When
they
pleaded
with
her
"Daughter,
don't
marry
that
gamblin'
man."
Gambler
tried
to
be
a
family
man
Though
it
didn't
suit
his
style
He
thought
he
had
him
a
winning
combination
So
he
took
us
where
the
stakes
were
high
Her
parents
warned
her
Tried
to
reason
with
her
Never
kept
their
disappointment
hid
They
all
went
to
pieces
when
the
bad
luck
hit
Stuck
in
the
middle,
I
was
the
kid
And
my
mama
couldn't
be
persuaded
When
they
pleaded
with
their
daughter
Don't
marry
that
gamblin'
man
Mama
couldn't
be
persuaded
When
they
pleaded
with
their
daughter
Don't
marry
that
gamblin'
man
Mama
couldn't
be
persuaded
When
they
pleaded
with
her
No,
no,
nevertheless
My
Mama
couldn't
be
persuaded
When
my
Granny
pleaded
with
her
Not
to
marry
that
gamblin'
man
I
said
my
mama
couldn't
be
persuaded
