Roving Gambler Lyrics - Foreverly - Billie Joe + Norah

I am a roving gambler I gambled all around 

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 

I met up with a pretty little girl 

She fell in love with me 

She fell in love with me, fell in love with me 

She took me in her parlor, she cooled me with a fan 

She whispered low in her mother's ears 

I love that gambling man 

Love that gambling man, love that gambling man 

Oh daughter oh dear daughter how can you treat me so? 

Leave your dear old mother 

And with that gambler go 

With that gambler go, with that gambler go 

My mother, oh dear mother you can not understand 

If you ever see me coming back 

I'll be with a gambling man 

With that gambling man, with that gambling man 

I left her in El Paso and I wound up in Maine 

I met up with a gambling man 

Got in a poker game 

Got in a poker game, got in a poker game 

We put our money in the pot and dealt the cards around 

I saw him deal from the bottom of the deck 

Shot that gambler down 

Shot that gambler down, shot that gambler down 

Well, now I'm in the jailhouse got a number for my name 

The Warden said as he locked the door 

You've gambled your last game 

Gambled your last game, gambled your last game 

I am a roving gambler I gambled all around 

Whenever I meet with a deck of cards 

I lay my money down 

Lay my money down, lay my money down
