"Roving Gambler"


Intro: FF

FF
I am a roving gambler, I've gambled down in town

Wherever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down.
          Bb majorBb      FF
Lay my money down, lay my money down

FF
I had not been in Washington, many more weeks than three

?Til I fell in love with a pretty little girl, she fell in love with me.
           Bb majorBb        FF
Fell in love with me, fell in love with me

FF
She took me in her parlour, she cooled me with her fan

She whispered low in her momma's ear, ?I love that gambling man.
            Bb majorBb         FF
Love that gamblin' man, love that gamblin' man?

FF
?Daughter, oh dear daughter, how can you treat me so?

To leave your dear old mother, and with a gambler go?
          Bb majorBb       FF
With a gambler go, with a gambler go??

FF
I've gambled down in Washington; I've gambled down in Spain

I'm goin' down in Georgia to gamble my last game
           Bb majorBb       FF
Gamble my last game, gamble my last game

FF
?Mother, oh dear mother, you know I love you well

But the love I have for the gambling man, no human tongue can tell.
             Bb majorBb         FF
No human tongue can tell, no human tongue can tell

FF
I hear that train a-coming, coming 'round the curve

A-whistling and a-blowing straining every nerve
            Bb majorBb       FF
Strainin' every nerve, strainin' every nerve

FF
?Mother, oh dear mother, I'll tell you if I can

If you ever see me comin' back, I'll be with the gambling man
             Bb majorBb          FF
Be with the gambling man, be with the gambling man?

FF
I am a roving gambler, I've gambled down in town

Wherever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down
          Bb majorBb      FF
Lay my money down, lay my money down
