Roving Gambler Lyrics - George Hamilton Iv

I'm a roving gambler gambled all around 

Whenever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down 

I gambled down in Washington gambled over in Spain 

Now I'm on my way to Tennessee to knock down my last game 

Knock down my last game knock down my last game 

Had not been in Washington many more weeks than three 

Till I fell in love with a pretty little girl she fell in love with me 

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

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

Love that gambling man love that gambling man 

[ ac.guitar ] 

Oh daughter oh dear daughter how could you treat me so 

To leave your dear old mother and with that gambler go 

Now listen to me mother you know I love you well 

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

No human tongue can tell no human tongue can tell 

[ steel ] 

Well I would not marry a railroad man this is a reason why 

I never have seen a railroad man that would tell his wife of life 

Oh mother oh dear mother I tell you if I can 

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

With that gambling man with that gambling man
