Roving Gambler

I am a roving gambler gambled all around Whenever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down Lay my money down, lay my money down I had not been in Frisco many more weeks than three I met up with a pretty little gal She fell in love with me Fell in love with me, fell in love with me She took me in her parlor, cooled me with her fan Whispered low in her mother's ear I love this gambling man Love this gambling man, love this gambling man Oh daughter oh dear daughter how can you treat me so Leave your dear old mother And with a gambler go With a gambler go, with a gambler go My mother oh my mother you can not understand If you ever see me a coming back I'll be with a gambling man With a gambling man, with a gambling man I left her there in Frisco and I wound up in Maine I met up with a gambling man Got in a poker game Got in a poker game, got in a poker game We put our money in the pot and dealt the cards around I saw him deal from the bottom of the deck And I shot that gambler down Shot the gambler down, shot the gambler down Well, now I'm in the jailhouse got a number for my name The Warden said as he locked the door You've gambled your last game Gambled your last game, gamble your last game
