Lyrics:

Becky Deem, she was a gamblin' gal
Win all her money, and she win it fair

Becky Deem, she was a gamblin' gal
She win all her money, and she win it fair

Becky Deem, had her games on the ground
She win all the money the skinner laid down

Becky Deem, had her games on the ground
She win all the money the skinner laid down

She started to hit one, with a singletree
Mighta heard the rascal hollerin' 'Don't you murder me'

She started to hit one, with a singletree
You mighta heard the rascal hollerin' 'Don't you murder me'

Walked all the way from East St Louis
She didn't have but the one thin dime

She walked all the way from East St Louis
And she didn't have but the one thin dime

Never spent it for whiskey, and honey, neither for wine
Yes I spent it all on the sake of the man of mine

She never spent it for whiskey, and honey, neither for wine
I spent it all on the sake o' the man o' mine
