Written by：D. Foley/M. Kirkland/J. Paine

I am a roving gambler

I've gambled all around

And wherever I see a deck of caaards

I lay my money down

Lay my money down

I lay my money down

I've gambled down in Washington

Ga-ambled up in Maine

I'm headed down to Tenesseeeeee

To knock down my last game

Knock down my last game

To knock down my last game

I had not been in Washington

Many more weeks than three

When I fell in love with a pretty little gaaal

And she fell in love with me

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 eeear

"I love that gambling man

Love that gambling man

I love that gambling man

"I wouldn't marry a railroad man

This is the reason why

I've never seen a railroad maaan

Wouldn't tell his wife a lie

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 baaack

It'll be with a gambling man

Be with a gambling man

It'll be with a gambling man

I am a roving gambler

I've gambled all around

And wherever I see a deck of caaards

I lay my money down

Lay my money down

I lay my money down

And wherever I see a deck of caaards

I lay my money down

Lay my money down

Lay my money down
