Rovin’ Gambler

I am a rovin’ gambler, I’ve gambled all around

Wherever I meet with a deck of cards I lay money down

Lay my money down, lay my money down

I had not been in Frisco, many more weeks than three

When I met up with a pretty little girl, and she fell in love with me

Fell in love with me, fell in with me

She took me to her parlor, cooled me with her fan

She whispered low in her mother’s ear, I love this gamblin’ man

I love this gamblin’ man. Love this gamblin’ man

Oh daughter oh dear daughter, how can you treat me so

Leave your dear old mother girl and with a gambler go

With a gambler go, with a gambler go

Well I left her in Frisco and I wound up in Spain

I met up with a gamblin’ man and we got in a poker game

Got in a poker game, got in a poker game

He put the money in the pot and dealt the cards around

I caught him dealin’ from the bottom of the deck

So I shot the gambler down

Shot the gambler down, shot the gambler down

Well now I’m here in prison, got a number for my name

The warden says as he closed the “you’ve gambled your last game”

Gambled your last game, gambled your last game
