Roving Gambler
as recorded by the Country Gentlemen
transcribed by Brad Kale
*capo 2nd

(G)
I am a rovin` gambler, I`ve gambled all around
(C) (G) (C) (G)
ever I meet with a deck of cards, I lay my money down.
(D) (G)
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, she fell in love with me
fell in love with me, fell in love with me.

She took me to her parlor, she cooled me with a fan
whispered low in her mothers ear,I love this gamblin` man
Love this gamblin` man, love this gamblin` man.

Oh daughter oh dear daughter, how can you treat me so
leave your dear `ol 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 coming back, I`ll be with the gamblin` man
with the gamblin` man, with the gamblin` man.

I left her in frisco and wound up in Maine
there I met with a gamblin` 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 he 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.
