Marty Robbins - The Roving Gambler Lyrics
Well, I am a roving gambler I've gambled all aroundWhenever I need my deck of cards I lay my money downI lay my money down I lay my money downI had not been in Washington many more days than threeWhen I fell in love with a pretty little girlAnd she fell in love with meShe fell in love with me fell in love with meShe took me in her parlor cooled me with her fanWhispered low in Mama's ear I love this gambling manI love this gambling man love this gambling manDaughter oh dear daughter what makes you treat me soTo leave your dear old Mama and with that gambler goMother, oh dear Mother you know I love you wellBut the love I have for the gambling manNo human tongue can tellNo human tongue can tell human tongue can tellWell I hear the train a-commin', commin' around the curveWhistlin' and a blowin', strainin' every nerveMother, oh dear Mother I'll tell you if I canIf you ever see me commin' again, I'll be with a gamblin' manBe with a gamblin' man, be with a gamblin' man
