Roving Gambler Lyrics - Marty Robbins

Well, I am a roving gambler I've gambled all around 

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

I lay my money down I lay my money down 

I had not been in Washington many more days than three 

When I fell in love with a pretty little girl 

And she fell in love with me 

She fell in love with me fell in love with me 

She took me in her parlor cooled me with her fan 

Whispered low in Mama's ear I love this gambling man 

I love this gambling man love this gambling man 

Daughter oh dear daughter what makes you treat me so 

To leave your dear old Mama and with that gambler go 

Mother, oh 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 human tongue can tell 

Well I hear the train a-commin', commin' around the curve 

Whistlin' and a blowin', strainin' every nerve 

Mother, oh dear Mother I'll tell you if I can 

If you ever see me commin' again, I'll be with a gamblin' man 

Be with a gamblin' man, be with a gamblin' man
