The 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've gambled down in Washington

I've gambled over in Spain

I'm on my way to Georgia

To knock down my last game

Knock down my last game

Knock down my last game

I had not been in Washington

Many more weeks than three

'Til I fell I love with a pretty little girl

She fell in love with me

She took me in her parlor

She cooled me with her fan

She whispered low in her mother's ear

I love this gamblin' man

Love this gamblin' man

Love this gamblin' man

Oh daugther, oh dear daughter

How could you treat me soTennessee Ernie Ford - The Rovin' Gambler - http://motolyrics.com/tennessee-ernie-ford/the-rovin-gambler-lyrics.html

To leave your dear old mother

And with the gambler go

Oh mother, dear mother

You know I love you well

But the love I hold for the gamblin' man

No human tongue can tell

No human tongue can tell

No human tongue can tell

I wouldn't marry a railroad man

This is the reason why

I never seen a railroad man

That wouldn't tell his wife a lie

Oh mother, oh dear mother

I'll tell you if I can

I'll be with the gamblin' man

I am the rovin' gambler

I've gambled all around

Wherever I meet with a deck of cards

I lay my money down

Lay my money down

Lay my money down
