Roving Gambler

Roving Gambler - The Everly Brothers

I am a roving gambler

I've gambled down in town

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 Washington

Many more weeks than three

Turn I fell in love with a pretty girl

She fell in love with me

Fell in love with me

Fell in love with me

She took me in her parlor

She cooled me with her fan

She whispered low in her mother's ear

I love that gambling man

Love that gambling man

Love that gambling man

Daughter

Oh dear daughter

How can you treat me so

To leave your dear old mother

And with a gambler go

With a gambler go

With a gambler go

I've gambled down in Washington

I've gambled down in Spain

I'm going down to Georgia

To gamble my last game

Gamble my last game

Gamble my last game

Mother

Oh dear mother

You know I love you well

But the love I have for this gambling man

No human tongue can tell

No human tongue can tell

No human tongue can tell

I hear that train a coming

Coming around the curve

A whistling and a blowing

Straining every nerve

Straining every nerve

Straining every nerve

Mother

Oh dear mother

I'll tell you if I can

If you ever see me coming back

I'll be with the gambling man

Be with the gambling man

Be with the gambling ma

I am a roving gambler

I've gambled down in town

Whenever I meet with a deck of cards

I lay my money down

Lay my money down

Lay my money down
