Roving Gambler Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

I am a roving gambler I've gambled all around 

Whenever I need with the deck of cards I lay my money down 

I've gambled down in Washington I've gambled over in Spain 

I'm on my way to Tennessee to get down my last game 

 

I had not been in Washington many more weeks than three 

When I fell in love with a pretty little maid who she in love with me 

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

She whispered low in mother's ear I love that gambling man 

[ guitar ] 

Oh daughter oh dear daughter how could you treat me so 

To leave your dear old mother and with the gambler go 

Oh mother my dear mother you know I love you well 

But the love I have for the gambling man no human tongue can tell 

No human tongue can tell no human tongue can tell 

[ guitar ] 

I wouldn't marry a farmer he's always in the rain 

I wouldn't marry a railroad man who's always on a train 

I wouldn't marry a doctor he's always gone from home 

All I want is the gambling man fore he leave me alone 

[ guitar ] 

I hear a train a coming a coming roun the curve 

A whistlin' and a blowin' and strainin' every nerve 

Oh mother oh dear mother I'll tell you if I can 

If you ever see me coming back I'll be with that gambling man
