I am a roving gambler   I've gamble all around   And wherever I see a deck of cards   I'll lay my money down   Lay my money down   I'll lay my money down.      I've gambled down in Washington   Gambled up in Maine   I'm headin' down to Tennessee   To knock down my last game   To 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 gal   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 ear   ''I love that gambling man,   Love that gambling man   I love that gambling man.''      "I wouldn't marry a railroad man   This is the reason why   I never seen a railroad man   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 coming back   It'll be with a gamblin' man   Be with a gamblin' man.   It'll be with a gamblin' man.''      I am a roving gambler   I've gamble all around   And wherever I see a deck of cards   I'll lay my money down   Lay my money down.   I'll lay my money down.      And when I see a deck of cards   I'll lay my money down   I'll lay my money down.   Lay my money down...
