Artist: The Hollies
Song: son of a rotten gambler
And his love will be his vision
And he'll take you where you stand
And will you stand
Your life by his and help the boy become a man ?
Will he be the son of his father
His father
the teacher teachin' love
And honesty and bein' his own man handler
Or the son of
the son of a run of the millrun
Rotten gambler.
Will the devil be gettin' to you as you look back
Over what you've done.
And what you've done
Was it for reason or for rhyme or was it just for fun?
Will he be the son of his father
. . .
Back on the road now deacon will lose your hand
There ain't no kingdom for the gamblin' man.
You know the road now and you have made your stand
And when his eyes shine upon you
shine upon you
Will he be the son of his father
. . .
