Rambling, Gambling Willie - The Lonely Heartstring Band
Written by：Bob Dylan
Come around you rovin' gamblers and a story I will tell
About the greatest gambler you all should know him well
His name was will o' conley and he gambled all his life
He had twenty-seven children yet he never had a wife
And it's ride willie ride
Roll willie roll
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now nobody really knows
He gambled in the white house and in the railroad yards
Wherever there was people there was willie and his cards
He had a reputation as the gamblin'est man around
Wives would keep their husbands home when willie came to town
And it's ride willie ride
Roll willie roll
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now nobody really knows
Sailin' down the mississippi to a town called new orleans
They're still talkin' about their card game on that jackson river queen
I've come to win some money gamblin' willie says
When the game finally ended up the whole damn boat was his
And it's ride willie ride
Roll willie roll
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now nobody really knows
But willie had a heart of gold and this I know is true
He supported all his children and all their mothers too
He wore no rings or fancy things like other gamblers wore
He spread his money far and wide to help the sick and the poor
And it's ride willie ride
Roll willie roll
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now nobody really knows
It was late one evenin' during a poker game
A man lost all his money he said willie was to blame
He shot poor willie through the head which was a tragic fate
When willie's cards fell on the floor they were aces backed with eights
And it's ride willie ride
Roll willie roll
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now nobody really knows
So all you rovin' gamblers wherever you might be
The moral of this story is very plain to see
Make your money while you can before you have to stop
For when you pull that dead man's hand your gamblin' days are up
And it's ride willie ride
Roll willie roll
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now nobody really knows
And it's ride willie ride
Roll willie roll
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now nobody really knows
