Roving Gambler

歌詞

I am a roving gambler, I've gambled down in town Wherever 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 'Til I fell in love 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 momma's ear, "I love that gambling man. Love that gamblin' man, love that gamblin' man" "Daughter, oh dear daughter, how can you treat me so? To leave your dear old mother, and with a gambler go? With a gambler go, with a gambler go?" I've gambled down in Washington; I've gambled down in Spain I'm goin' down in Georgia to gamble my last game Gamble my last game, gamble my last game "Mother, oh dear mother, you know I love you well But the love I have for the gambling man, no human tongue can tell. No human tongue can tell, no human tongue can tell I hear that train a-coming, coming 'round the curve A-whistling and a-blowing straining every nerve Strainin' every nerve, strainin' every nerve "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 Be with the gambling man. Be with the gambling man" I am a roving gambler, I've gambled down in town Wherever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down Lay my money down, lay my money down
