Willie Was A Gamblin' Man Lyrics

(Ferlin Husky)

Three men down on the river bank rollin' them gamblin' bowls
I say one named Johnny, one named Samson
And the other was Willie Jones
The other was Willie Jones.

Well, Willie was a rollin' and shootin' at onc
He said this time I bet in a lose
Johnny's done won my new Stetson hat
And mama needs a new pair of shoes
Mama needs a new pair of shoes.

Willie (Willie was a gamblin' man)
Willie was a gamblin' man
Willie rolled them bowls all over the land
Willie was a gamblin' man.
Well, Willie was a gamblin' man.

Well, Willie got mad at Johnny he jerked out a big 44
He said you've got my stetson and all of my money
But you ain't a gonna get no more
I know you ain't a gonna get no more.

He said Johnny boy I'm gonna kill you
I'm gonna shoot you and that ain't all
When my bullet goes through your head
I'm gonna bet a which a way you're gonna fallFerlin Husky - Willie Was A Gamblin' Man - http://motolyrics.com/ferlin-husky/willie-was-a-gamblin-man-lyrics.html

Willie (Willie was a gamblin' man)
Willie was a gamblin' man
Willie rolled them bowls all over the land
Willie was a gamblin' man.
Well, Willie was a gamblin' man.

Well, the sheriff he came got poor Willie
Took him to the hanging tree
He said sheriff I'll bet ye that I'm still kickin'
When the sun goes down on me
When the sun goes on me.

Everybody went to the graveyard
To watch 'em bury poor Willie Jones
And on the top of his grave they had a great big sign
Said here lies a gambler and his bowles
Here lies Willie Jones.

Willie (Willie was a gamblin' man)
Willie was a gamblin' man
Willie rolled them bowls all over the land
Willie was a gamblin' man.
Well, Willie was a gamblin' man.

Yes, Willie was a gamblin' man
I said Willie was a gamblin' man...
