I Am a Roving Gambler (Best Music Onoff Campus) |
I am a rovin' gambler-- |
I’ve gambled all around-- |
And wherever I see a deck of ca-a-ards, |
I lay my money down, |
lay my money down, |
I lay my money down. |
I’ve gambled down in Washington, |
ga-ambled up in Maine; |
I’m headed down to Tenessee-ee-ee |
to knock down my last game, |
knock down my last game, |
to knock down my last game. |
I had not been in Washington |
many more weeks than three, |
when I fell in love with a pretty little ga-a-al, |
and she fell in love with me, |
fell in love with me, |
she fell in love with me. |
She took me to her parlor; |
she cooled me with her fan; |
she whispered in her mother’s e-e-ear, |
«I love that gamblin' man, |
love that gamblin' man, |
I love that gamblin' man. |
«I wouldn’t marry a railroad man; |
this is the reason why: |
I’ve never seen a railroad ma-a-an |
wouldn’t tell his wife a lie, |
tell his wife a lie, |
wouldn’t tell his wife a lie. |
«Oh, Mother, oh dear Mother, |
I’ll tell you if I can: |
if you ever see me comin' ba-a-ack, |
it’ll be with a gamblin' man, |
be with a gamblin' man, |
it’ll be with a gamblin' man.» |
I am a rovin' gambler-- |
I’ve gambled all around-- |
and wherever I see a deck of ca-a-ards, |
I lay my money down, |
lay my money down, |
I lay my money down. |
And wherever I see a deck of ca-a-ards, |
I lay my money down, |
lay my money down, |
lay my money down. |
