Marty Robbins - Roving Gambler lyrics

rate me

Well, I am a roving gambler I've gambled all around<br />

Whenever I need my deck of cards I lay my money down<br />

I lay my money down I lay my money down<br />

<br />

I had not been in Washington many more days than three<br />

When I fell in love with a pretty little girl<br />

And she fell in love with me<br />

She fell in love with me fell in love with me<br />

<br />

She took me in her parlor cooled me with her fan<br />

Whispered low in Mama's ear I love this gambling man<br />

I love this gambling man love this gambling man<br />

<br />

Daughter oh dear daughter what makes you treat me so<br />

To leave your dear old Mama and with that gambler go<br />

Mother, oh dear Mother you know I love you well<br />

But the love I have for the gambling man<br />

No human tongue can tell<br />

No human tongue can tell human tongue can tell<br />

<br />

Well I hear the train a-commin', commin' around the curve<br />

Whistlin' and a blowin', strainin' every nerve<br />

Mother, oh dear Mother I'll tell you if I can<br />

If you ever see me commin' again, I'll be with a gamblin' man<br />

Be with a gamblin' man, be with a gamblin' man
