Go Down Gamblin’

Features the first trombone and first bass trombone. The song is about a gambler who never wins at any game he plays, yet he doesn’t feel like a loser because even though the “cards are ‘bound to break me I’ve been called a natural lover by that lady over there.” The tune was the lead track on Blood Sweat and Tears 4. The shorter, single version climbed to No. 32 on the pop charts.
