Roving Gambler |
| I am a roving gambler I gambled all around |
| Whenever I meet with a deck of cards |
| I lay my money down |
| Lay my money down, lay my money down |
| I had not been in Washington many more weeks than three |
| I met up with a pretty little girl |
| She fell in love with me |
| Fell in love with me, fell in love with me |
| She took me in her parlour, she cooled me with her fan |
| She whispered low in her mother’s ear |
| I love that gambling man |
| Love that gambling man, love that gambling man |
| Oh daughter oh dear daughter how can you treat me so? |
| Leave your dear old mother |
| And with a gambler go |
| With a gambler go, with a gambler go |
| My mother oh dear mother you can not understand |
| If you ever see me a coming back |
| I’ll be with a gambling man |
| With a gambling man, with a gambling man |
| I left her here in El Paso and I wound up in Maine |
| I met up with a gambling man |
| Got in a poker game |
| Got in a poker game, got in a poker game |
| We put our money in the pot and dealt the cards around |
| I saw him deal from the bottom of the deck |
| And I shot that gambler down |
| Shot the gambler down, shot the gambler down |
| Well, now I’m in the jailhouse got a number for my name |
| The Warden said as he locked the door |
| You’ve gambled your last game |
| Gambled your last game, gambled your last game |
| I am a roving gambler I gambled all around |
| Whenever I meet with a deck of cards |
| I lay my money down |
| Lay my money down, lay my money down |
