F
I am a roving gambler, I've gambled down in town
Wherever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down.
Bb F
Lay my money down, lay my money down
F
I had not been in Washington, many more weeks than three
?Til I fell in love with a pretty little girl, she fell in love with me.
Bb F
Fell in love with me, fell in love with me
F
She took me in her parlour, she cooled me with her fan
She whispered low in her momma's ear, ?I love that gambling man.
Bb F
Love that gamblin' man, love that gamblin' man?
F
?Daughter, oh dear daughter, how can you treat me so?
To leave your dear old mother, and with a gambler go?
Bb F
With a gambler go, with a gambler go??
F
I've gambled down in Washington I've gambled down in Spain
I'm goin' down in Georgia to gamble my last game
Bb F
Gamble my last game, gamble my last game
F
?Mother, oh dear mother, you know I love you well
But the love I have for the gambling man, no human tongue can tell.
Bb F
No human tongue can tell, no human tongue can tell
F
I hear that train a-coming, coming 'round the curve
Bb F
Strainin' every nerve, strainin' every nerve
F
?Mother, oh dear mother, I'll tell you if I can
If you ever see me comin' back, I'll be with the gambling man
Bb F
Be with the gambling man, be with the gambling man?
F
I am a roving gambler, I've gambled down in town
Wherever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down
Bb F
Lay my money down, lay my money down
