The Tim Shelton Syndicate - Roving Gambler Lyrics

I AM A ROVING GAMBLER, I'VE GAMBLED ALL AROUND
WHERE EVER I MEET WITH A DECK OF CARDS
I LAY MY MONEY DOWN, LAY MY MONEY DOWN,
LAY MY MONEY DOWN.
I HADN'T BEEN IN FRISCO MANY MORE WEEKS THAN THREE
TILL I FELL IN LOVE WITH A PRETTY LITTLE GIRL
SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH ME, SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH ME
FELL IN LOVE WITH ME.
SHE TOOK ME TO HER PARLOR
SHE COOLED ME WITH HER FAN
AND SHE WHISPERED LOW IN HER MOTHERS EAR
I LOVE THE GAMBLIN' MAN, I LOVE THE GAMBLIN' MAN
LOVE THE GAMBLIN MAN.
WELL DAUGHTER OH DEAR DAUGHTER
HOW CAN YOU TREAT ME SO
YOU'LL LEAVE YOUR DEAR OLD MOTHER
AND WITH THE GAMBLER GO, WITH THE GAMBLER GO
WITH THE GAMBLER GO.
WELL 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, NO HUMAN TONGUE CAN TELL.
WE STARTED OUT FROM FISCO BUT I WOUND UP IN MAINE
AND THERE I MET A GAMBLIN MAN AND GOT IN A POKER
GAME, GOT IN A POKER GAME, GOT IN A POKER GAME.
WE PUT THE MONEY IN THE POT AND DEALT THE CARDS
AROUND, I SAW HIM DEAL FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE DECK
SO I SHOT THE GAMBLER DOWN, I SHOT THE GAMBLER
DOWN, SHOT THE GAMBLER DOWN.
WELL HERE I AM IN PRISON I GOT A NUMBER FOR MY NAME
THE WARDEN SAID WHEN HE LOCKED THE DOOR
YOU'VE GAMBLED YOUR LAST GAME
YOU GAMBLED YOUR LAST GAME, GAMBLED YOUR LAST
GAME.
