Gamblin' Man (Roving Gambler) |
| Well, I’m a rovin' gambler |
| I’ve seen most every town |
| Whenever I meet with a deck of cards |
| I lay my money down |
| Lord, I lay my money down |
| Yeah, I lay my money down |
| I gamble out in Texas |
| And down in New Orleans |
| I’ve lost a pot with four-of-a-kind |
| I’ve won with a couple of queens |
| Lord, I bluffed with a couple of queens |
| And I won with a couple of queens |
| I met me a friend in Frisco |
| Lady Luck was her name |
| Well, I couldn’t even lose with a pair of two’s |
| 'Till a woman got in the game |
| Lord, a redhead got in the game |
| Yeah, a woman got in the game |
| Well, she won my horse and saddle |
| She won my Bowie knife |
| When I lost everything I had |
| She told me to bet my life |
| Lord, she told me to bet my life |
| She told me to bet my life |
| If you don’t wanna lose your freedom |
| If you care about your life |
| Don’t get in a game with a redheaded dame |
| You’ll win yourself a wife |
| Lord, you’ll win yourself a wife |
| You’ve got yourself a wife |
