Brothers Four "I am a Rovin' Gambler" |
I am a roving gambler, I gamble all around And when I see a deck of cards I'll lay my money down. I'll lay my money down. I'll lay my money down. I've gambled down in Washington, I've gambled up in Maine I'm headin' down to Tennessee To knock down my last game. To knock down my last game. To knock down my last game. I had not been in Washington Not many more weeks than three When I fell in love with a pretty little gal, And she fell in love with me. She fell in love with me. She fell in love with me. She took me to her parlor, She cooled me with her fan She whispered in her mother's ear, ''I love that gambling man. I love that gambling man. I love that gambling man.'' "I wouldn't marry a railroad man, This is the reason why I never seen a railroad man Wouldn't tell his wife a lie. Wouldn't tell his wife a lie. Wouldn't tell his wife a lie.'' ''Oh mother, oh dear mother I'll tell you if I can If you ever see me coming back It'll be with a gamblin' man. It'll be with a gamblin' man. It'll be with a gamblin' man.'' I am a roving gambler, I've gamble all around And when I see a deck of cards I'll lay my money down. I'll lay my money down. I'll lay my money down. And when I see a deck of cards I'll lay my money down. I'll lay my money down. I'll lay my money down... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
