Rovin' Gambler

Lyrics

I am a rovin' gambler, I've gambled all around
 Wherever I meet with a deck of cards, I lay my money down
 I lay my my money down, lay my money down
 I had not been in Dallas many more weeks than three
 When I fell in love with a pretty little girl
 And she fell in love with me
 Fell in love with me, fell in love with me
 She took me in her parlor, she cooled me with a fan
 And she whispered low in her mother's ear
 "I love this gamblin' man"
 Love this gamblin' man, love this gamblin' man
 "Oh daughter, oh dear daughter, how could you treat me so
 And leave your dear old mother, and with a gambler go?"
 With a gambler go, with a gambler go
 "Oh mother, oh dear mother, you know I love you well
 But the love I have for this gamblin' man, no human tongue can tell"
 No human tongue can tell, no human tongue can tell
 I left that gal in Dallas, I wound up in Maine
 I met up with a gamblin' man, we got in a poker game
 Got in a poker game, got in a poker game
 He put is money in the pot and passed the cards around
 I saw him get a Jack from the bottom of the pack
 So I shot that gambler down
 Shot that gambler down, shot that gambler down
 Well now I'm down in prison, I 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
 Gambled your last game, gambled your last game
 Gambled your last game, gambled your last game
