The Rovin Gambler |
| I am a rovin' gambler |
| I’ve gambled all around |
| Wherever I meet with a deck of cards |
| I lay my money down |
| I’ve gambled down in Washington |
| I’ve gambled over in Spain |
| I’m on my way to Georgia |
| To knock down my last game |
| Knock down my last game |
| Knock down my last game |
| I had not been in Washington |
| Many more weeks than three |
| 'Til I fell I love with a pretty little girl |
| She fell in love with me |
| She took me in her parlor |
| She cooled me with her fan |
| She whispered low in her mother’s ear |
| I love this gamblin' man |
| Love this gamblin' man |
| Love this gamblin' man |
| Oh daugther, oh dear daughter |
| How could you treat me so |
| To leave your dear old mother |
| And with the gambler go |
| Oh mother, dear mother |
| You know I love you well |
| But the love I hold for the gamblin' man |
| No human tongue can tell |
| No human tongue can tell |
| No human tongue can tell |
| I wouldn’t marry a railroad man |
| This is the reason why |
| I never seen a railroad man |
| That wouldn’t tell his wife a lie |
| Oh mother, oh dear mother |
| I’ll tell you if I can |
| I’ll be with the gamblin' man |
| I am the rovin' gambler |
| I’ve gambled all around |
| Wherever I meet with a deck of cards |
| I lay my money down |
| Lay my money down |
| Lay my money down |
