I am a roving gambler I gambled down in town 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 fell in love with a pretty little girl She fell in love with me Fell in love with me, she 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 I hear that train a coming, coming round the curve, Whistling and a blowin, straining every nerve Straining every nerve, straining every nerve Oh daughter oh dear daughter how can you treat me so? Leave your dear mama And with a gambler go With a gambler go, with a gambler go As verse chords x2 I hear that train a coming, coming round the curve, Whistling and a blowin, straining every nerve Straining every nerve, straining every nerve 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 I gambled down in Washington i gambled down in Spain Going down to Georgia Gambled my last game Gambled my last game, gambled my last game I am a roving gambler, I've gambled down in town Wherever I lay my money down Lay my money down Lay my money down, lay my money down Lay my money down Lay my money down
