The Gambler Lyrics - Singles - Guthrie Woody

The Gambler 

"Good morning Mister Railroad man. 

What time do your trains toll by?" 

"At nine-sixteen and two-forty-four 

And twenty five minutes till five." 

"It's nine-sixteen and two-forty-four, 

Twenty-five minutes till five, 

Thank you Mr. Railroad man, 

I want to watch your trains roll by." 

Standing on a platform, 

Smoking a cheap cigar 

Waiting for an old freight-train 

That carries an empty car. 

Well, l pulled my hat down over my eyes, 

And l walked across the track, 

And I caught me the end of an old freight-train, 

And I never did come back. 

I sat down in a gamblin' game, 

And I could not play my hand, 

Just thinkin' about that woman I love 

Run away with another man. 

Run away with another man, poor boy 

Run away with another man, 

I was thinking about that woman that l love, 

Run away with another man. 

Note: a sort of montage of pieces of Poor By and Danville Girl RG 

Recorded by Cisco Houston. Also, I think, Woody Guthrie
