The Roving Gambler

歌詞

(E. Seigmaister) 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. --- Instrumental --- 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. --- Instrumental --- 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. --- Instrumental --- 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...
