"Roving Gambler"
       F
Intro: 
F
I am a roving gambler, I've gambled down in town
Wherever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down.
                   Bb           F
Lay my money down, lay my money down
F
I had not been in Washington, many more weeks than three
‘Til I fell in love with a pretty little girl, she fell in love with me.
                      Bb                F
Fell in love with me, fell in love with me
F
She took me in her parlour, she cooled me with her fan
She whispered low in her momma's ear, “I love that gambling man.
                        Bb                 F
Love that gamblin' man, love that gamblin' man”
F
“Daughter, oh dear daughter, how can you treat me so?
To leave your dear old mother, and with a gambler go?
                   Bb             F
With a gambler go, with a gambler go?”
F
I've gambled down in Washington; I've gambled down in Spain
I'm goin' down in Georgia to gamble my last game
                     Bb             F
Gamble my last game, gamble my last game
F
“Mother, oh dear mother, you know I love you well
But the love I have for the gambling man, no human tongue can tell.
                          Bb                  F
No human tongue can tell, no human tongue can tell
F
I hear that train a-coming, coming 'round the curve
A-whistling and a-blowing straining every nerve
                       Bb              F
Strainin' every nerve, strainin' every nerve
F
“Mother, oh dear mother, I'll tell you if I can
If you ever see me comin' back, I'll be with the gambling man
                          Bb                   F
Be with the gambling man, be with the gambling man”
F
I am a roving gambler, I've gambled down in town
Wherever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down
                   Bb           F
Lay my money down, lay my money down
End
