[E]
I am a roving gambler, I've gambled all around, wherever I meet with the deck of cards I lay
my money down, I lay my [C#m] money [A] down, lay my [E] money down.
I had not been in Dallas many more weeks free, till I fell in love with a pretty little [A] girl,
she fell in [E] love with me, fell in love with [A] me, fell in [E] love with me.
She took me in her parlor, she fooled me with a plan, and she whispered [G#m] low in her mother's
[A] ear, I love this [E] gamblin' man, love this gamblin' man, [A] love this [E] gamblin' man.
Oh daughter, oh dear daughter, how could you treat me so, and leave your dear old mother,
[A] and with the [E] gambler go, with the gambler go, [A]
with the [E] gambler go.
Oh mother, oh dear mother, you know I love you well, but the love I have for this gamblin'
[A] man, no human [E] tongue can tell, no human tongue can tell, no human tongue can tell.
[A] [E]
[A] [E]
I left that gal in Dallas, I wound up in Maine, I met up with a gamblin' man, [A] we got in a
[E] poker game, got in a poker game, [A] got in a poker [E] game.
He put his money in the pot, and dealt the cards around, I saw him get a jack from the
bottom of the pack, [A] so I shot that [E] gambler down, shot that gambler down, [A] shot that [E] gambler down.
Well now I'm down in prison, I got a number for my name, the warden said [E] Andy lock the
door, [A] you gambled your last game, gambled your last game, gambled your [E] last game, gambled
your last game, [C#] gambled your [E] last game.
