| Well I’m a roving gambler
|
| I’ve seen most every town
|
| Whenever I meet with a deck of cards
|
| I lay my money down
|
| I lay my money down
|
| Yeah, I lay my money down
|
| I’ve gambled out in Texas
|
| And down in New Orleans
|
| I’ve lost the pot with four-of-a-kind
|
| I’ve won with a couple of queens
|
| Lord, I’ve bluffed with a couple of queens
|
| I’ve won with a couple of queens
|
| Well, I met a friend in Frisco
|
| And Lady Luck was her name
|
| Well, I couldn’t lose with a pair of twos
|
| '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 old black pan-head
|
| She won my switch-blade knife
|
| And when I lost everything I had
|
| She told me to bet my life
|
| She told me to bet my life
|
| She told me to bet my life
|
| If you don’t want to lose your freedom
|
| If you care about your life
|
| Don’t get in a game with a redheaded thing
|
| You’ll win yourself a wife
|
| Lord, you’ll win yourself a wife
|
| Oh, you got yourself a wife |
