johnny chester - i walked out of blacktown lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
my daddy came home
from the war with j-pan
and i was just seven
but a real little man
so he started to teach me
all that could be taught
about cheatin’ at two-up
without gettin’ caught

[verse 2]
in a room out the back
when my daddy’s friends came
i’d sit in the corner
and watch every game
then as i got older
they allowed me to play
until i got so good
they made me stay away

[chorus]
so i walked out of blacktown
my feet on the ground
my hands in my pockets
my head in the clouds
i set out to make me
a real easy buck
but i walked out of blacktown
and ran out of luck

[verse 3]
so i headed for hobart
couldn’t wait to arrive
i reached the casino
about twenty to five
by nine thirty seven
i felt sure i could win
but by five to eleven
i was flat broke again

[chorus]
cause i walked out of blacktown
my feet on the ground
my hands in my pockets
my head in the clouds
i set out to make me
a real easy buck
but i walked out of blacktown
and ran out of luck

[verse 4]
now i’m headed homeward
my head hung in shame
to my friends and my family
and our little game
cause i’ve learnt my lesson
it’s easy to cheat
but it’s best bein’ honest
and even better to eat

[chorus]
i walked out of blacktown
my feet on the ground
my hands in my pockets
my head in the clouds
i set out to make me
a real easy buck
but i walked out of blacktown
and ran out of luck

[outro]
i walked out of blacktown
my feet on the ground
my hands in my pockets
my head in the clouds
i set out to make me
a real easy buck
but i walked out of blacktown
and ran out of luck
