Marty Robbins - Roving Gambler

Well, I am a roving gambler I've gambled all around

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

I lay my money down, I lay my money down

I had not been in Washington many more weeks than three

When I fell in love with a pretty little girl

And she fell in love with me

She fell in love with me, fell in love with me

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

Whispered low into Mama's ear - I love this gamblin' man

I love this gambling'man, I love this gamblin' man

Daughter, oh dear daughter, what makes you treat me so

To leave your dear old Mama and with this gambler go

Mother, oh dear Mother, you know I love you well

But the love I have for the gamblin' man

No human tongue can tell

No human tongue can tell, human tongue can tell

Well I hear the train a-comin', comin' around the curve

A-whistlin' and a-blowin', strainin' every nerve

Mother, oh dear Mother, I'll tell you if I can

If you ever see me comin' again, I'll be with a gamblin' man

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