River Boat Gambler |
| I cut my teeth on a poker chip my daddy left layin' behind |
| The said he was a dealin' from the bottom but my mama said they were lyin' |
| So I never stay in one place long I’m just a natural born rambler |
| My mama was a Dodge City dance hall girl and my daddy was a riverboat gambler |
| So don’t kiss my cheek and look at me with stayin' in your eyes |
| For marriage is like shootin' against a pair of loaded dice |
| You better throw your hand in for you just can’t hold this rambler |
| My mama was a Dodge City dance hall girl and my daddy was a riverboat gambler |
| I’ll say you’re the closest thing to love I’ve ever known |
| But without the feel of the paddle wheel I’d never be at home |
| Well I must go for I just heard the river call this rambler |
| My mama was a Dodge City dance hall girl and my daddy was a riverboat gambler |
| So don’t kiss my cheek… |
| My mama was a Dodge City dance hall girl and my daddy was a riverboat gambler |
