Roving Gambler |
| I am a roving gambler, I’ve gambled all around |
| Whenever I need with the 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 Tennessee to get down my last game |
| I had not been in Washington many more weeks than three |
| When I fell in love with a pretty little maid who she in love with me |
| She took me in her parlor she cooled me with her fan |
| She whispered low in mother’s ear I love that gambling man |
| Oh daughter, oh dear daughter, how could you treat me so |
| To leave your dear old mother and with the gambler go |
| Oh mother, my dear mother, you know I love you well |
| But the love I have for the gambling man no human tongue can tell |
| No human tongue can tell no human tongue can tell |
| I wouldn’t marry a farmer he’s always in the rain |
| I wouldn’t marry a railroad man who’s always on a train |
| I wouldn’t marry a doctor he’s always gone from home |
| All I want is the gambling man fore he leave me alone |
| I hear a train a coming a coming round the curve |
| A whistlin' and a blowin' and strainin' every nerve |
| Oh mother, oh dear mother, I’ll tell you if I can |
| If you ever see me coming back I’ll be with that gambling man… |
