No, I believe this is acutally closer to the original. I have a CD called "Putumayo Presents Americana" and it's got a version of this song as performed by Tim O'Brien. The original version of this song was about drinking, not gambling. When the Animals did their version of it, they supposedly were forced to change the theme from drinking to gambling. Why, I'll never know. Why would gambling be an acceptable vice to sing about and not alcohol?
