Misheard Lyrics:
Is a suitcase and a chump
And the only time he’ll be satisfied
Is when he’s on a trump
And the only time he’ll be satisfied
Is when he’s on a trump
Original Lyrics:
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he'll be satisfied
Is when he's all drunk
And the only time he'll be satisfied
Is when he's all drunk
This stanza is written several different ways. Most often confused with Bob Dylan’s version. Musicxmatch says:” Now the only thing a gamblin' man ever needs/Is a suitcase, Lord, and a trunk/And the only time a fool like him is satisfied/Is when he's all stone cold drunk” I swear there is no “Lord” on that first line. Maybe a different version? Unsolved mystery?
