Roving gambler
I am a roving gambler, gambled all around 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 Frisco many more weeks than three I met up 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 parlor, she cooled me with her fan Whispered low in her mother's ear I love this gambling man Love this gambling man, love this gambling man Oh daughter, oh daughter, how can you treat me so Leave your dear old mother and with the gambler go With the gambler go, with the gambler go Oh mother, oh mother, I'll tell you if I can If you ever see me coming back, I'll be with the gambling man With the gambling man, with the gambling man I left her in Frisco, I would up in Maine I met up with a gambling man, we got in a poker game Got in a poker game, got in a poker game He put his money in the pot and dealt the cards around Saw him deal from the bottom of the deck, so I shot the gambler down Shot the gambler down, shot the gambler down Now I'm down in prison, 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
