Roving gambler by The Country Gentlemen Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2015

I am a roving gambler I've gambled all around
Whenever I meet with the deck of cards I lay my money down
I lay my money down I 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
She whispered low in mother's ear I love this gambling man
I love this gambling man I love this gambling man
Oh daughter oh dear daughter how could you treat me so
And leave your dear old mother and with the gambler go
With the gambler go with the gambler go
Oh mother oh dear mother I'll tell you if i can
If you ever see me comming back i'll be with the gambling man
I've left her in Frisco I wound up in Maine
I'ce 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
I saw him get a jack on the bottom of the pack so I shot tham gambler down
Shot tham gambler down shot tham 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 gambled your last game
Gambled your last game gambled your last game
Gambled your last game gambled your last game
